متن کاملNasopharyngeal carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a tumor arising from the epithelial cells that cover the surface and line the nasopharynx. The annual incidence of NPC in the UK is 0.3 per million at age 0-14 years, and 1 to 2 per million at age 15-19 years. Incidence is higher in the Chinese and Tunisian populations. Although rare, NPC accounts for about one third of childhood nasopharyngeal neoplasms. Three...
متن کاملEmerging immunotherapies for renal cell carcinoma.
In recent years, an improved understanding of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumour biology has resulted in major advances in the treatment of patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC). Although immunotherapy with interleukin-2 and interferon-α was once the standard of care for mRCC, the introduction of novel agents targeting angiogenesis and signal transduction pathways has markedly improved patient out...
متن کاملOncolytic Virus-Based Immunotherapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma is highly refractory cancer which is resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, carrying a dismal prognosis. Although many anticancer drugs have been developed for treating HCC, sorafenib is the only effective treatment, but it only prolongs survival duration for about 3 months. Recently, oncolytic virotherapy has shown promising results in treating HCCs a...
متن کاملReview of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
We review the literature on nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has been published within the past 5 years. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a highly morbid disease, and survival is poor. Its management remains extremely difficult, not just for otolaryngologists but for radiation oncologists and medical oncologists, as well. A clear understanding of its etiology is still lacking, but nasopharyngeal carcin...
