Article Abstract
Multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) data 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 for NPC. Addressing this critical need, we introduce the first comprehensive NPC MRI dataset, encompassing MR axial imaging of 277 primary NPC patients. This dataset includes T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequences, totaling 831 scans. In addition to the corresponding clinical data, manually annotated and labeled segmentations by experienced radiologists offer high-quality data resources from untreated primary NPC.

Ethyl Acetate Extract of Oratosquilla Inhibits the Growth of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma through the Hippo Pathway.

The Hippo pathway and its transcription co-activator YAP play a critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and the control of organ size. In the past several years, YAP has been found to be expressed in various human cancers, however, its expression in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains unstudied. In this report, we found that YAP was overexpressed in human NPC tissues, and its expression was also significantly higher in five NPC cell lines when compared with the nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 (P < 0.

Accurate tumor mutation burden (TMB) quantification is critical for immunotherapy stratification, yet remains challenging due to variability across sequencing platforms, tumor heterogeneity, and variant calling pipelines. Here, we introduce TMBquant, an explainable AI-powered caller designed to optimize TMB estimation through dynamic feature selection, ensemble learning, and automated strategy adaptation. Built upon the H2O AutoML framework, TMBquant integrates variant features, minimizes classification errors, and enhances both accuracy and stability across diverse datasets.

Background: C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3) is a crucial chemokine that plays a fundamental role in the immune microenvironment and is closely linked to the development of various cancers. Despite its importance, there is limited research regarding the expression and function of CCL3 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Therefore, this study seeks to examine the expression of CCL3 and assess its clinical significance in NPC using bioinformatics analysis and experiments.

Background: Locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) has a heterogeneous prognosis, with approximately one-fourth of patients experiencing poor outcomes. Studies have explored the application of induction chemoimmunotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy, but its efficacy was controversial.
Methods: The protocol was registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, CRD42024619387).

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) sustains viral latency and drives oncogenesis in EBV-driven malignancies such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and lymphomas. The dimerization of EBNA1 acts as an indispensable molecular switch governing EBV latency and oncogenesis. Disruption of EBNA1 dimerization is a promising strategy, but existing small-molecule inhibitors lack sufficient specificity.
