NCI International EBV-Gastric Cancer Consortium
NCI-International EBV-Gastric Cancer Consortium is a research collaboration pooling data and biospecimens from 18 completed and ongoing case series and observational studies of gastric cancer conducted in low- and high-risk populations. It was established in 2006 and is lead by the Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics (DCEG) at the National Institutes of Health in the United States of America. Contributing studies provide previously collected epidemiologic data and submit biologic specimens for further testing. Cases of EBV-positive gastric cancer are compared to disease-free controls, as well as to EBV-negative gastric cancer cases in case-control and case-case analyses.
