Purpose: Chronoradiobiology has emerged as a potential field of study with therapeutic implications for cancer treatment. We aimed to investigate the association between radiation chronotherapy and the efficacy and toxicity of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Patients And Methods: Patients with nonmetastatic NPC treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy in Fujian Cancer Hospital between January 2017 and December 2019 were included.

Purpose: The incidence and survival rates of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) vary globally, influenced by factors such as ethnicity, lifestyle, and health care systems.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with HNSCC treated between 2008 and 2020 in four major Thai academic cancer centers, using a multidisciplinary multicenter database. The study focused on the evolution of patient characteristics, survival changes, and treatment landscape alterations over time.

Nasal spray treatments that inhibit the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) entry into nose and nasopharynx at early stages can be an appropriate approach to stop or delay the progression of the disease. We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicentric, phase II clinical trial comparing the rate of hospitalization due to COVID-19 infection between azelastine 0.1% nasal spray and placebo nasal spray treatment groups.

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a humoral immune response, producing virus-specific antibodies such as IgM, IgG, and IgA. IgA antibodies are present at mucosal sites, protecting against respiratory and other mucosal infections, including SARS-CoV-2, by neutralizing viruses or impeding attachment to epithelial cells. Since SARS-CoV-2 spreads through the nasopharynx, the specific IgAs of SARS-CoV-2 are produced quickly after infection, effectively contributing to virus neutralization.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) remains an important cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). We aimed to describe the prevalence and characteristics of outpatients with radiologically confirmed pneumococcal CAP. Between November 2017 and December 2019, a French network of general practitioners enrolled CAP-suspected adults, with ≥1 clinical signs of infection and ≥1 signs of pulmonary localization in an observational study.
