Collaborative action will generate better outcomes
Menée à partir de données portant sur 937 patients atteints d'un carcinome rhino-pharyngé de stade locorégionalement avancé, cette étude multicentrique évalue la performance d'une signature, basée sur l'expression de 13 gènes, pour prédire le risque de métastases distantes
The most meaningful collaborative action in nasopharyngeal cancer occurred two decades ago, with the development of a single staging system for the disease.1 Incorporation of the Ho staging system into the tumour–node–metastasis–American Joint Committee on Cancer (TNM–AJCC) staging system acknowledged the experience of the Asian centres where nasopharyngeal cancer is endemic. This new system allowed, for the first time, ease of direct comparison and collaboration between Asian and non-Asian centres in the management of nasopharyngeal cancer.
