The aim of this study was to investigate KAI1/CD82 protein expression in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines and human NPC tissues. Immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis were used to detect the localization and expression levels of the KAI1/CD82 protein in five human NPC cell lines. Immunohistochemistry was also conducted to detect the expression of the KAI1/CD82 protein in...

Clinical symptoms and imaging features of fungal infection are confused with those of atypical nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and therefore development of a more effective diagnostic method is essential. It is a common knowledge that there is a significant association between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and nonkeratinizing NPC. However, fungal infection may be considered to be a vital etiologic a...

Nagaland has the highest AAR (age adjusted rates) of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in India. The frequent presentation metastatic neck nodes nasopharyngeal can lead to diagnostic errors if preliminary investigations are not done properly. We present two patients with NPC who were initially treated anti-tubercular therapy presumed have tuberculosis. Metastasis was confirmed fine needle aspirati...

BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has known as a highly distinct kind of head and neck cancer. This distinction has been due to its clinical presentation, epidemiology, outcome, and treatment. There have not been any reports of epidemiological analysis of NPC in Iran. This study has evaluated the incidence rates and trends of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the Iranian population during 200...

Central nervous system metastases from nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are uncommon. The patient presented was diagnosed with aggressive advanced NPC resistant to treatment and complicated by a solitary brain metastasis. A PubMed database search was conducted to review the existing literature regarding brain metastases of NPC, using the search terms "nasopharyngeal neoplasia," "nasopharyngeal ca...

Juvenile Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare head and neck cancer in Western Countries. Neck radiotherapy (RT) routine procedure for treating or preventing the nodal metastasis NPC patients. Ionizing radiation from RT has been associated with enhanced atherosclerotic process of large vessel arteries brain which results higher incidence cerebrovascular events.

Background: Epstein-barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) plays a crucial role in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the most common cancer of head and neck cancer in Asian countries with high incidents. Sequence variations are of high frequency within the functionally important domains of EBNA-1, which have been classified into five subtypes: Phenotype (P)-ala, P-thr, V-val, V-leu and V-pro and ar...

INTRODUCTION Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare malignancy in children. Nasal obstruction, otitis media with effusion, pain in the ear, hearing problems, and unusual neck mass are among the signs and symptoms of this malignancy. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with NPC who later developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) through the course of her disease. To our k...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Nasopharyngeal necrosis is an unusual sequelae after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). It is mostly managed by conservative treatment, but the efficacy is unsatisfied. This study was to investigate the efficacy of endoscopy-guided debridement on irradiation-related nasopharyngeal necrosis in NPC patients after radiotherapy. METHODS Between Jul. 2006 and M...

Background: Indonesia is a country consisting of islands and oceans that are rich in potential natural resources. Abundant marine products make the Indonesian people empower fish catches into long-lasting salted processed foods. People living coastal areas have high level consumption seafood products, such as fish. Consuming one factors causing incidence nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
