Parapharyngeal extension of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: still a significant factor in era of modern radiotherapy?
With better tumor delineation by magnetic resonance imaging and improved coverage using modern radiotherapy techniques, PPS extension per se no longer predicts for disease outcome. Hence, subcategorizing Stage T2 disease is no longer important in future International Union Against Cancer/American Joint Committee on Cancer classifications.
AGP was more effective in limiting hepatic inflammation and maintaining perfusion than saline or HAS, in both endotoxemic and septic mice. AGP sequestration of LPS may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects.
