The diagnostic and prognostic values of plasma Epstein-Barr virus DNA for residual cervical lymphadenopathy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients: a retrospective study

open access: yesCancer Communications, 2019
Background Currently, the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with residual cervical lymphadenopathy following radical radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy are challenging. We investigated the prognosis of NPC patients

Leveraging Semantic Asymmetry for Precise Gross Tumor Volume Segmentation of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in Planning CT [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
In the radiation therapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), clinicians typically delineate the gross tumor volume (GTV) using non-contrast planning computed tomography to ensure accurate radiation dose delivery. However, the low contrast between tumors and adjacent normal tissues necessitates that radiation oncologists manually delineate the tumors ...

HPV‐Positive Squamous Cell Carcinoma Metastasis Without Clinical Evidence of Primary: The Posterior Oropharyngeal Wall May Be an Overlooked Location

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can present as cancer of unknown primary, where only cervical lymph node metastases are identified. Most tumors, particularly human‐papillomavirus‐associated ones, are located in the palatine/lingual tonsils.

Acoustic Features of Airway Protective Maneuvers as Biomarkers of Radiation‐Associated Dysphagia and Penetration/Aspiration in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed at identifying acoustic features of airway protective maneuvers as biomarkers of radiation‐associated dysphagia, involving penetration/aspiration and pharyngeal residue. Methods Temporal and spectral acoustical analyses were carried out on voluntary coughs, voluntary throat clearings, and reflexive coughs.

A dataset of primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma MRI with multi-modalities segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging data with various sequences facilitate the early diagnosis, tumor segmentation, and disease staging in the management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The lack of publicly available, comprehensive datasets limits advancements in diagnosis, treatment planning, and the development of machine learning algorithms

Patterns of Initial Lymph Node Involvement and Recurrence in Patients With Maxillary Sinus Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Determining whether to treat the elective cervical lymph node (LN) area remains a dilemma in maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study analyzed the patterns of initial LN involvement and recurrence to guide treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 119 patients with maxillary sinus SCC treated between

Single‐cell landscape and clinical outcomes of infiltrating B cells in colorectal cancer

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 135-151, January 2023., 2023
Our study provides deep insights into infiltrating B cells, including their phenotypes, location, antibody isotypes and interplay within the TME. Moreover, it was found that a B cell‐rich group, which was characterized by microsatellite instability‐high (MSI‐H) and high tumour mutation burden (TMB‐H), as well as immunosuppressive property in particular,

Prevalence of mental disorders and their associations with age at diagnosis and time since diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
BackgroundDespite advancements in cancer treatment, understanding the long-term mental health implications for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) survivors remains an underexplored area. This study aims to examine the prevalence of mental disorders and their
