Overview
overview
Research

There is evidence that under certain conditions, viral and other infections play an integral role in carcinogenesis. These infections establish latency or are chronic; age and severity of infection are generally risk factors for malignancy. Understanding the natural history of such infections and identification of the risk factors for malignancy may provide insight for intervention strategies.

Dr. Mueller's major research has been on the role of age at infection with the Epstein -Barr virus (EBV) on the pathogenesis of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Her group conducted research on the natural history of the first identified human retrovirus, HTLV- I, and hepatitis C virus in longitudial studies of endemic villages in southern Japan.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
