Unlocking the Secrets of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Treatment

November 2, 2025

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a big problem in Southeast Asia and southern China. Many people get it, but it's often found too late. Doctors have been using drugs that target a protein called EGFR to fight it. These drugs work at first, but the cancer cells find ways to resist them. Scientists

EBV Infection and Immune Cells in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

May 12, 2025

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of cancer that often involves the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This virus can mess with the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight the cancer. A specific type of immune cell, called regulatory T cells (Tregs), plays a big role in how NPC develops

Predicting NPC Outcomes: A Fresh Look at EBV DNA and SII

December 23, 2024

Cancer remains a significant global health concern, with head and neck cancers, like nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), being particularly common in East Asia. Scientists have long known that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load and the systemic immune inflammation (SII) index can help predict how NPC
