Prostate cancer (PCa) has become one of the most common malignancies in men, and its incidence is increasing year by year in China. When PCa develops into castration-resistant PCa (CRPC), it deteriorates rapidly. So, it is important to find more sensitive molecular markers and effective therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of the malignancy.

- The study aimed to assess how MRI-detected residual retropharyngeal lymph node (RRLN) status after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) affects prognosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and to create a predictive tool (nomogram) for identifying RRLN risk before treatment.
- A total of 1103 NPC patients were analyzed, with the prognostic significance of RRLN determined through various statistical methods, resulting in RRLN being identified as a significant independent factor affecting overall and disease-free survival.
- The researchers developed a nomogram that effectively predicts RRLN risk based on specific criteria and validated its accuracy in multiple patient cohorts, establishing it as a practical tool for clinicians.
