NCIt definition : A nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma that is caused by Epstein-Barr virus infection. The vast majority of nasopharyngeal non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinomas (differentiated or type II and undifferentiated or type III nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas) and a small minority of nasopharyngeal keratinizing squamous cell carcinomas (type I nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas) are associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.;
