However, new research conducted by Sun Yat-sen University, located in south China's Guangdong Province, has uncovered that a protein called R9AP serves as a common receptor allowing EBV to infect both ...

Smoking, alcohol consumption and betel nut chewing are some of the lifestyle factors that have been linked to head and neck ...

A novel immuno-PET/CT imaging technique has identified and validated a potent biomarker for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). The biomarker, CD70, is highly and constantly expressed in NPCs, and ...

Nasopharyngeal cancer refers to a relatively uncommon malignancy that begins in the nasopharynx—the upper section of the throat located behind the nose and above the back of the mouth. To understand ...

TOPLINE: In patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received induction-concurrent (chemo)radiotherapy, persistent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA positivity or its resurgence during treatment was ...

Meta-analysis of Epstein-Barr virus genomes in Southern Chinese identifies genetic variants and high risk viral lineage associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. PLOS Pathogens , 2024; 20 (5 ...

PURPOSEScreening for nasopharyngeal carcinoma ... Residents in the screening towns were invited to undergo serum Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen/nuclear antigen 1-immunoglobulin A ...

The EBV, classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), infects more than 90% of the world's population and is associated with more than ten malignancies ...

Scientists are still researching how EBV leads to nasopharyngeal cancer, but it may be related to genetic material (DNA) from the virus affecting the DNA in the cells of the nasopharynx.

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a rare cancer of the nasopharynx and is associated with an accompanying Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. EBV is known to alter the host genome and activate latent ...

Population screening of asymptomatic persons with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) DNA or antibodies has improved the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and survival among affected persons. However ...
