BACKGROUND: Endoscopic guided biopsy (EGB) is performed after an initial endoscopy for
the investigation of patients with suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The aim of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our previous nasopharyngeal carcinoma detection study,
comparing MR imaging, endoscopy, and endoscopic biopsy, showed that MR imaging is a …

Purpose To compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with that of the
current clinical standard of endoscopy and endoscopic biopsy, to determine whether MR …

Purpose Endoscopic biopsy is recommended for diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
(NPC). A proportion of lesions are hidden from endoscopic view but detected with magnetic …

Background Early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) evades detection when the
primary tumor is hidden from view on endoscopic examination. Therefore, in a prospective …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging can detect nasopharyngeal carcinoma that is
hidden from endoscopic view, but for accurate detection carcinoma confined within the …

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is prevalent in distinct geographic regions, including
southern China, Southeast Asia, North Africa, Greenland, and Alaska, and most commonly …

Precise assessment of the extent of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) represents the basic
step towards optimal treatment. We compared the capacity of CT and MRI in assessing the …

Background Although stratifying individuals with respect to nasopharyngeal carcinoma
(NPC) risk with Epstein‐Barr virus–based markers is possible, the performance of diagnostic …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for staging nasopharyngeal
carcinoma in the head and neck. This article will review the patterns of primary and nodal …
