Pattern of Failure in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma After Radiotherapy in a Low‐Incidence Population: A DAHANCA Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is uncommon in many populations. Most existing clinical evidence comes from endemic areas, where Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐associated subtypes predominate. We analyzed patterns of failure in a population‐based cohort from Denmark, a low‐incidence setting.

The Africa We Want: A Perspective on the African Code Against Cancer To Be Developed for Sub‐Saharan Africa

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a unique cancer burden, characterized by a disproportionately high mortality‐to‐incidence ratio, a large share of infection‐related cancers, and distinct environmental exposures. Implementation of national policies on primary prevention is limited, and public literacy regarding cancer risk and curability remains ...

Pretreatment EBV‐DNA/TLG‐Based Risk Stratification Is Associated With Survival Outcomes in Nonmetastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: An Exploratory Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whether combining pretreatment plasma Epstein–Barr virus DNA (EBV‐DNA) with 18F‐FDG PET/CT‐derived total lesion glycolysis (TLG) improves prognostic stratification in nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is unclear, particularly in nonendemic populations.

Canine Distemper Virus Research in China and Future Directions for Conservation 中国犬瘟热病毒研究现状与保护策略展望

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Canine distemper is a highly contagious, severe disease caused by the canine distemper virus (CDV). With a worldwide distribution and ever‐expanding list of susceptible hosts, CDV poses a growing risk for many threatened wildlife species, both in captivity and their native habitats. As a megadiverse country, China is home to myriad endemic and
