Systematic comparison of plasma EBV DNA, anti‐EBV antibodies and miRNA levels for early detection and prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is originated from the epithelial cells of nasopharynx, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated and has the highest incidence and mortality rates in Southeast Asia. Late presentation is a common issue and early detection could be the key to reduce the disease burden. Sensitivity of plasma EBV DNA, an established NPC biomarker, for Stage I NPC is controversial. Most newly reported NPC...
