Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in situ in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
AIMS To assess the presence of carcinoma in situ (CIS) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and to see if the number of biopsy sites facilitates detection of CIS. METHODS Formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded biopsy specimens (n = 285) from 187 patients with NPC in 1987 were studied for the presence of CIS as well as for the histological assessment of the subtype of CIS. RESULTS ...
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 کاملMicroRNAs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
It is becoming increasingly evident that aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) are responsible for a number of disease processes, including cancer initiation and progression. miRNAs have been implicated as key players in numerous neoplasms, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Functionally, deregulation of miRNAs that act either as tumour suppressors or oncogenes results in numerous canc...
متن کاملExosomes in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Exosomes are nanosized (30-100nm) membrane microvesicles secreted through a complex cellular process. Exosomes contain a variety of bioactive molecules, such as proteins, microRNAs(miRNAs or miRs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), playing an important role in the cell-to-cell substance transportation and signal transduction. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma-related exosomes (NPC-Exo) have been identi...
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...
