BACKGROUND
The potential role of occupational exposures in the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear, particularly in high‐incidence areas.
METHODS
The authors conducted a population‐based case‐control study, consisting of 2514 incident NPC cases and 2586 randomly selected population controls, in southern China from 2010 to 2014. Occupational history and other covariates...
Background
An association between a nonmedicinal herbal diet and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has often been hypothesized but never thoroughly investigated.
Methods
This study enrolled a total of 2469 patients with incident NPC and 2559 population controls from parts of Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces in southern China between 2010 and 2014. Questionnaire information was collected on the intake...
BACKGROUND
Recombinant human lymphotoxin‐α derivative (rhLTα‐Da) is a lymphotoxin‐α derivative that is missing 27 N‐terminal amino acid residues. Previous studies indicated a benefit from the addition of rhLTα‐Da to cisplatin‐based treatment in patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The current study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhLTα‐Da plus cisplatin...
BACKGROUND
To the authors' knowledge, no studies to date have explored familial risks of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in detail and quantified its lifetime risk in high‐incidence populations.
METHODS
The authors conducted a population‐based case‐control study of 2499 NPC cases and 2576 controls randomly selected in southern China from 2010 through 2014. Unconditional logistic regression was used...
BACKGROUNDThe utility of circulating Epstein‐Barr Virus (EBV) DNA as a tumor marker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) detection suggests that it might improve the diagnostic performance of anti‐EBV antibody markers in NPC screening. In this study, the authors evaluated whether circulating EBV DNA load is capable of distinguishing NPC patients from high‐risk individuals who have positive anti‐EBV...
