Resumen

El virus de Epstein-Barr (VEB) es un virus de ADN con envoltura que pertenece a la familia Gamma Herpesviridae. Este virus establece una infección persistente latente/lítica, aunque puede estar implicado en el desarrollo de cáncer en algunos individuos. De hecho, existen evidencias que respaldan un papel etiológico del VEB en el carcinoma nasofaríngeo indiferenciado (CNF), un subtipo de carcinomas gástricos y linfomas. Además, se ha detectado VEB en carcinomas de mama (CM), si bien su función aún no se ha establecido. En esta revisión, resumimos la información epidemiológica sobre la presencia del VEB en el CM y proponemos modelos mecanísticos. Sin embargo, se requieren más estudios epidemiológicos y experimentales para confirmar estos modelos.
