Multidimensional Prognostic Index as a Predictor of Mortality in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Cohort Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer (HNC) significantly impacts older adults, with mortality influenced by multiple factors. The Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), derived from comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), may improve risk stratification and clinical decision making. Methods An observational cohort study was conducted at Erasmus

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

arXiv
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 ...

Proptosis due to otolaryngology causes a study [PDF]

, 2013
Proximity of orbit to nose and paranasal sinuses makes it rather vulnerable to insults due to otolaryngological causes. The medial wall of orbit (Lamina papyracea) is rather paper thin and ithappens to form the lateral wall of anterior ethmoid air cells.

Nasopharngeal carcinoma: a clinical and pathological study of 112 cases seen in Singapore during the period February 1953 to April 1955 [PDF]

, 1955
From the study of the histology of the tumours in this series it has become evident that one continuous pathological process is at work. It does not appear justifiable to regard transitional cell carcinoma or lymphoepithelioma as separate tumours ...

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

arXiv
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

The Combination of Active‐Targeted Photodynamic Therapy and Photoactivated Chemotherapy for Enhanced Cancer Treatment

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), an oxygen‐independent light‐based therapy, utilizes chemotherapeutic regimens that remain inert until exposed to light, allowing target‐specific activation while minimizing off‐target toxicity. The integration of these techniques has the potential to improve selectivity and yield synergistic cytotoxic effects that ...

Leveraging Two-Phase Data for Improved Prediction of Survival Outcomes with Application to Nasopharyngeal Cancer [PDF]

arXiv
Accurate survival predicting models are essential for improving targeted cancer therapies and clinical care among cancer patients. In this article, we investigate and develop a method to improve predictions of survival in cancer by leveraging two-phase data with expert knowledge and prognostic index.

[Acute bilateral ophthalmoplegia and nasopharyngeal neoplasms].

Anales de medicina interna (Madrid, Spain : 1984), 1997
The cranial nerves, due to its location, are not infrequently involved in the nasopharyngeal neoplasm evolutionary course. In this paper we describe two cases in which the neoplastic infiltration in both cavernous sinuses brought the appearance of an acute bilateral ophthalmolegia on.
