Article Synopsis
- Accurate staging for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is vital for treatment and prognosis, using the AJCC/UICC TNM system as a standardized approach, necessitating ongoing updates to reflect modern care practices.
- The study aimed to enhance the accuracy and relevance of the TNM-8 system for NPC by analyzing patient data from 2014-2015 and undergoing rigorous validation processes leading to the development of TNM-9.
- Results from over 4,900 patients highlighted that advanced extranodal extension was a key negative prognostic factor, prompting a proposed restructuring of staging for nonmetastatic cases from TNM-8 classifications.
Article Synopsis
- * Findings showed a low incidence of DRPIs at 0.56%, with most injuries being stage I (73.53%) and commonly occurring on non-bone protruding areas like the upper arms and thighs.
- * Key independent risk factors for DRPIs included patients' body mass index, mean arterial pressure, and instrument action time, indicating the importance of personalized preventive measures based on these factors.
