Check if special CT and nose scope help screen nasopharyngeal cancer
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a special CT scan with a nose/throat camera exam (nasopharyngeal endoscopy) can better find nasopharyngeal cancer early. You might benefit if the study shows this approach is accurate and safer for screening.

This study screens people in certain cities to see whether signs in the blood related to a virus (EBV) can help find nasopharyngeal cancer earlier. It may help identify higher-risk people so they can be checked sooner.
This trial is for people with high-risk, newly diagnosed stage T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal cancer. It compares whether you need chemotherapy first (before radiation and chemotherapy together) to improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive surgery done through the nose can help people newly diagnosed with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer. It looks for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who are healthy enough for the procedure and follow-up.
This study tests an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blood antibody and an EBV DNA test to help screen people at higher risk for nasopharyngeal cancer. It may find signs earlier in certain families where cancer runs.
This trial offers free screening to find nose cancer (nasopharyngeal carcinoma or NPC) early, before symptoms start. It is for people with a family history of NPC who may be at higher risk.
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special scan (PET/CT) to guide radiation can safely reduce the radiation dose for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help lessen side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
