## RESULTS. In specimens from 107 patients with NPC, EBV was detected by PCR in 2 Department of Pathology, the Johns Hopkins 97 cases (90.7%) and by EBER in situ hybridization in 105 cases (98.1%). In speci-
DNA from malignant cells is present in the serum/plasma of cancer patients and DNA from this source is amenable to analysis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the present study, we evaluated whether Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA is present in the serum of patients with EBV-associated Hodgkin's di
