Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-associated malignancy endemic to southern China, southeast Asia and north Africa. The authors of this Review present a comprehensive overview of advances from the past three decades on the pathogenic role of EBV, and the genomic, epigenomic and immune landscape of NPC, which have led to the development of new biomarkers, therapeutic targets and improved treatment approaches for patients with NPC.
