a

Table is ordered by viral life cycle, followed by immunoglobulin type and viral protein in alphabetical order

b

P value denotes whether each marker’s effect on a given cancer significantly varies across the four cancer types after adjusting for sex, age group, and g eographic region. P value <0.05 is considered statistically significant.

c

All fold-change values are based on log2 scale.

d

P value is corresponding to t-test. P value <0.05 is considered statistically significant.
