Abstract
Induction of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early antigen after treatment with various combinations of croton oil and π-butyrate was markedly inhibited by retinoids 7901, 7902, Ro 10-9359 and Ro 11-1430. Possible administration of retinoids to virus capsid antigen IgA antibody-positive individuals in high-risk areas for nasopharyngeal carcinoma to prevent EBV activation and development of this cancer is discussed.Keywords
