Melvin LK CHUA, Head of the Department of Head Neck and Thoracic Cancers, Division of Radiation Oncology at National Cancer Centre Singapore, shared on X:

“Monumental effort to develop the 9th Ver AJCC/UICC TNM Staging NPC, Nasopharyngealcarcinoma.

Very grateful to be involved as Chair of the AJCC NPC staging panel with Pierre Blanchard leading the new stage system.

We believe that this should form the framework for future integration with biomarkers EBVDNA for precise stratification and new clinical trials in NPC.

And thanks to Sweet Ping Ng for the elegant commentary! And to JAMA Oncology for showcasing our work as a Special Communications!”
