Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a malignancy highly prevalent in East and Southeast Asia, is primarily treated with radiotherapy (RT). However, hypoxia-induced radioresistance presents a significant challenge. Nanozymes, nanomaterials with catalase-like activity, have emerged as a promising strategy for radiosensitization by converting elevated hydrogen peroxide in the tumor microenvironment into oxygen.

Background: Chemoimmunotherapy is the first-line therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and is currently the main induction treatment option for patients with locoregionally advanced NPC. However, it remains unclear whether combining immunotherapy with standard induction chemotherapy enhances its efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, toxicity, and survival outcomes of induction chemoimmunotherapy in patients with locoregionally advanced NPC.

It is not uncommon for individuals receiving radiotherapy for head and cancers to experience dry mouth sensation (xerostomia), salivary hypofunction (hyposalivation) and taste changes. The present study aimed to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of biweekly photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in managing these radiotherapy-induced adverse effects and its impact on oral health-related quality of life. Ten patients who developed xerostomia and hyposalivation secondary to radiotherapy for head and neck cancer were included.

Background: The standard of care for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) is induction chemotherapy (ICT) followed by concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT). However, the ideal ICT regimen for LA-NPC remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the survival outcomes, responses, and incidences of toxicities between taxane, cisplatin and fluorouracil (TPF) and cisplatin and fluorouracil (PF) ICT regimens plus CCRT in LA-NPC.
