Circulating Epstein-Barr virus DNA and cell-free DNA in pediatric lymphomas.
CONCLUSION: Serum EBV DNA copy numbers and cf-DNA levels were elevated at initial diagnosis in both HLs and NHLs and decreased parallel to treatment response. In NHL cases, remarkable elevation of cf-DNA levels at recurrences indicated that cf-DNA levels might be useful in the follow-up of pediatric NHLs.
