Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) plays an important role in gastric carcinogenesis and EBV infection is closely related to the development and progression of gastric cancer. Advances in molecular biology techniques have deepened our understanding of the characteristics of EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC). It has been found that latent EBV infection and EBV-induced malignant transformation are an important basis for the pathogenesis of EBVaGC. Understanding the pathogenesis of EBVaGC provides a theoretical basis for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this disease.
