Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2018 Background Distant metastasis is the major cause of treatment failure in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Although several biomarkers correlate with metastasis and prognosis, the molecular mechanisms of NPC development and progression remain

Fully Automatic Segmentation of Gross Target Volume and Organs-at-Risk for Radiotherapy Planning of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Target segmentation in CT images of Head&Neck (H&N) region is challenging due to low contrast between adjacent soft tissue. The SegRap 2023 challenge has been focused on benchmarking the segmentation algorithms of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) which would be employed as auto-contouring tools for radiation treatment planning purposes.

Network strategies to study Epstein-Barr virus associated carcinomas and potential etiological mechanisms for oncogenesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Diseased conditions are a consequence of some abnormality that are associated with clinical conditions in numerous cells and tissues affecting various organs. The common role of EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) in causing infectious mononucleosis (IM) affecting B-cells and epithelial cells and the development of EBV-associated cancers has been an area of ...

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 152, Issue 5, Page 879-912, 1 March 2023., 2023 Abstract Knowledge of the role in cancer etiology of environmental exposures as pesticides is a prerequisite for primary prevention. We review 63 epidemiological studies on exposure to pesticides and cancer risk in humans published from 2017 to 2021, with emphasis on new findings, methodological approaches, and gaps in the existing literature.

SECP-Net: SE-Connection Pyramid Network of Organ At Risk Segmentation for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a kind of malignant tumor. Accurate and automatic segmentation of organs at risk (OAR) of computed tomography (CT) images is clinically significant. In recent years, deep learning models represented by U-Net have been widely applied in medical image segmentation tasks, which can help doctors with reduction of workload ...

Weighted Concordance Index Loss-based Multimodal Survival Modeling for Radiation Encephalopathy Assessment in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Radiotherapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Radiation encephalopathy (REP) is the most common complication for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy. It is highly desirable to assist clinicians in optimizing the NPC radiotherapy regimen to reduce radiotherapy-induced temporal lobe injury (RTLI) according to the probability of REP onset.
