Summary
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with radiotherapy may develop rare radiation-induced sarcomas (RIS). Complete surgical resection offers the only potential cure for this aggressive malignancy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiation Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is primarily treated with radiotherapy.
- Radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) is a rare but aggressive malignancy developing post-radiotherapy.
- Complete surgical resection is the only potentially curative option for RIS.

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...
