Biomarker Facts

Biomarker typeviral_load
Measurement
MethodReal-time quantitative PCR for EBV-DNA on cell-free plasma (preferred) or whole blood. Plasma EBV-DNA reflects active viral replication and tumor lysis; whole-blood EBV-DNA includes latent virus in B-cells and is less specific for active disease. Standardized in IU/mL via WHO international standard.

Notes

Companion to BIO-EBV-STATUS (qualitative tissue EBER-ISH). EBV-DNA is the *quantitative* serum marker used for: - **Extranodal NK/T nasal-type lymphoma**: pre-treatment baseline; monitoring during SMILE / DDGP / asparaginase-based regimens; post-treatment surveillance. Rising EBV-DNA on therapy correlates with poor response; persistent post-treatment positivity predicts relapse. - **PTLD**: EBV-driven PTLD shows EBV-DNA load decrease with rituximab + reduced immunosuppression; trend is response surrogate. - **HIV-associated EBV+ DLBCL / plasmablastic / primary effusion**: contextual; not standardly used for treatment decisions. - **Post-HSCT monitoring**: weekly EBV-DNA used to detect early PTLD risk; preemptive rituximab if doubling. Wired into: ALGO-NK-T-NASAL-1L (notes only — full Monitoring entity with thresholds and frequency to be authored). reviewer_signoffs: 0 # STUB — pending two Clinical Co-Lead approvals
