EBV‐encoded LMP1 upregulates EGFR in epithelial cells and increases the release of EGFR into EVs, leading to the development of epithelial malignancies such as NPC (Kung & Raab‐Traub, 2008; Meckes et al., 2010; Miller, Earp, & Raab‐Traub, 1995). The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
