El virus de Epstein-Barr: una nueva dimensión en el desarrollo del cáncer
 
El virus de Epstein-Barr (VEB) es un herpesvirus gamma ubicuo vinculado a varios tipos de cáncer. Este capítulo profundiza en el potencial oncogénico del VEB, aprovechando los conocimientos genómicos y multiómicos recientes. A pesar de su presencia común y comportamiento típicamente benigno, los sofisticados programas de latencia del VEB y su capacidad para infectar células B y células epiteliales contribuyen a la oncogénesis de linfomas, carcinomas y leiomiosarcomas.
 
Los avances en las tecnologías ómicas han sido fundamentales para comprender los mecanismos patogénicos del VEB, lo que ha permitido la identificación de nuevos biomarcadores y vías. La integración de estas tecnologías en modelos de pronóstico clínico ha mejorado el diagnóstico, el pronóstico y el tratamiento de los cánceres asociados al VEB. Destacando la importancia de la investigación traslacional basada en la multiómica, este capítulo subraya la compleja interacción entre el VEB y su huésped, allanando el camino para terapias contra el cáncer más específicas y efectivas. El capítulo tiene como objetivo proporcionar una descripción general integral del papel del VEB en el cáncer.
