Abstract

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common malignancies in Indonesia with over 13.000 new cases reported yearly, especially in the male. The TNF-? serum is reported as a new biomarker to predict bone invasion, post-therapy distant metastasis, and poor life sustainability in NPC. Objective: To identify the expression of TNF-? in regards to the clinical stage of NPC. Material and methods: This is an analytic study with 126 NPC samples of patients in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital. Results: NPC mostly found in age group 41-60 years (57.1%), male (71.4%),non-keratinizing SCC (79.4%), and stage IV group (54.8%). In immunohistochemistry evaluation, most of TNF-? overexpressed in non-keratinizing SCC(68.0%), T3-T4 (50.8%), N2-N3 (62.7%) and clinical stage III-IV (69.9%). Spearman's test for categorical correlation yield a p-value of <0,001. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between TNF-? expression and the stage of NPC.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an aggressive head and neck cancer, mostly associated with EBV infection. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is transcription factors that act as a tumor promoter, especially in inflammation-associated cancer. It also attracts angiogenesis. Microvessel Density (MVD) is widely used as an index for tumor angiogenesis. There have been no studies found about the correlation of NF-κB and MVD expression in NPC. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of NF-κB and MVD expression that may affect targeted therapies in NPC patients Methods: A total of 30 paraffin blocks of NPC patients biopsies were assessed immunohistochemically for NF-κB expression and MVD. Data were analyzed using the Spearman's nonparametric test to assess the correlation between NF-κB expression and MVD. Results: Positive NF-κB expression was found in 22 (73.33%) patients and negative in 8 (26.67%) patients. High MVD expression in 17 (56.67%) patients and low MVD expression in 13 (43.33%) patients. There was no significant correlation found between NF-κB and MVD. Conclusion: This study has not confirmed any correlation between NF-κB and MVD. Further research needs to be done to get a better assessment on nuclear proliferation rates and tumor-related angiogenesis in NPC.
