More than 90% of people worldwide become infected with Epstein-Barr Virus & most do not develop any symptoms. There is no vaccine to prevent EBV & no specific treatment for EBV infection, although it can cause lymphoma and some nose & throat cancers. https://go.usa.gov/xUsEM pic.twitter.com/fE3RTEBVrs

We at the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention welcome Deborah Winn, PhD as our Acting Director, while a search is conducted for a permanent Director.

The drug tamoxifen can prevent breast cancer in women at increased risk, but there is concern about side effects, such as hot flashes and the increased risk of blood clots and stroke. So researchers are studying TOPICAL tamoxifen (gel put on the skin) https://go.usa.gov/xEcPM pic.twitter.com/H1HRDXfD6G

There is no known mechanism by which non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could damage DNA and cause cancer, but even a small increase in risk would be of clinical importance given how widespread exposure to these fields is. Learn more: https://go.usa.gov/xQaD2 pic.twitter.com/gGscz4aGxp
