This study aimed to investigate the risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients receiving conventional fractionation radiotherapy. A retrospective analysis of clinical data from 100 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radiotherapy was conducted. The Chi-square test was used to screen the relevant factors and Cox multiple-factor analysis was used to investigate the risk facto...

S-100 antigen containing cells with dendritic features, recognisable by morphological and immunohistochemical criteria as belonging to the Langerhans' or interdigitating reticulum cell type, have been found in undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The presence of these cells, which have a special function of antigen presentation in immune responses, may be involved in a possible modulation...

OBJECTIVE To consider the relation between functional experiential hallucinosis and brain injury induced by radiotherapy. METHODS Single case report. RESULTS A female patient presented with a four year history of functional experiential hallucinosis after two courses of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Brain MRI showed hyperintense changes over the left temporal lobe. CONCLUSION...

Paragangliomas are very rarely seen in the nose, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx. The development of paraganglioma concurrently with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the same region has not been reported to date. In this study we reported a 59-years-old a female case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma who underwent radiotherapy six years ago and got the diagnosis of sinonasal paraganglioma in the same re...

Two hundred fifty incident cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma under age 35 years in Hong Kong Chinese and an equal number of age- and sex-matched friend controls were interviewed. Mothers of cases and controls were interviewed also, if available, to obtain information on childhood events concerning the study subjects. Consumption of Cantonese-style salted fish during all time periods was signifi...

Auto uorescence spectral signals were measured in vivo from 85 nasopharyngeal carcinoma lesions and 131 normal tissue sites of 59 subjects during routine nasal endoscopy. Diagnostic algorithms based on principal component analysis and the ratio of the spectral signals between multiple-wavelength bands were developed for classifying the auto uorescence spectra. Performances of the algorithms w...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the effect of nitidine chloride (NC) on the proliferation and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE1, CNE2, TWO3, and C666-1, and to explore its antitumor mechanism. METHODS NC was dissolved in IMDM medium and cultured with nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE1, CNE2, TWO3 and C666-1. Cell morphology, cell proliferation, cell apo...

BACKGROUND In recent years, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted drugs have been respectively used in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In our research, we combined all of them for better curative effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients with histologically confirmed stage III~IV (without distant metastasis) nasopharyngeal carcinoma were recruited between December 2013 and October 2014 with...
