Demographic characteristics of viral infections. A Gender characteristic of virus-associated cancers. EBV-, HBV- and HPV-infections appear more frequently in males of STAD, LIHC and HNSC, respectively (P < 0.05, Pearson’s Chi-squared test). B Germline analysis for viral infections. We analyzed correlations between viral infections and different races in cancers with high proportion of viral infection. HBV infection in LIHC is the only virus-cancer association that has significant difference in germline distribution where LIHC of Asian ancestry is more susceptible to HBV-infection (P < 0.0001, Pearson’s Chi-squared test). C Age analysis for virus-associated cancers. The age of diagnosis showed earlier in HPV-infected CESC (P = 0.0134, Pearson’s Chi-squared test), HPV-infected HNSC (P = 0.0034, Pearson’s Chi-squared test), and HBV-infected LIHC (P < 0.0001, Pearson’s Chi-squared test) showed an earlier age of diagnosis
