## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common head and neck cancer in Taiwan. The goals of the current study were to investigate whether a nasopharyngeal swab technique could provide enough DNA for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV)βderi

## Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) is the most common head and neck malignancy in southeastern china and taiwan. early detection of the local disease followed by timely and appropriate treatment is essential to increasing cure and survival rates. detection of epstein-barr virus (ebv) gen
## Background: The 5-year survival rate of patients with submucosal (sm) esophageal carcinoma continues to be much worse than that with intramucosal (m) lesions. the reasons are unclear, but matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and membrane type matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) are known to be invol
## Abstract The EpsteinβBarr Virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) has a significant role in several malignancies, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). LMP1 is the principal oncoprotein, and we have shown that it also induces a set of factors that mediates invasion, angiogenesis and met
## Abstract Latent membrane protein 1 (LMPβ1) is an EpsteinβBarr virusβencoded oncoprotein expressed in βΌ50β70% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Previous studies have shown that NPCβderived LMPβ1 variants carrying 30 bp deletion and specific mutations in the 3β²Cβterminal region confer high oncoge
