Milk Consumption Across Life Periods in Relation to Lower Risk of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Multicentre Case-Control Study
Conclusion: Consumption of milk across life periods was associated with lower risks of NPC. If confirmed to be causal, this has important implications for dairy product consumption and prevention of NPC. Background The etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is unclear, and its male predominance has been linked to sex hormones (1). Dairy products are a source of steroid hormones (2) and contain numerous potential antitumor substances. Using an ecological study design, we found that increasing consumption of dairy products might explain the declining NPC incidence in 48 countries/regions (3, 4). Six case-control s...

Is human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 infection associated with hearing loss?
ConclusionsHTLV‐1 infection, particularly in those with a clinical presentation, appears to accompany hearing loss. Based on the results of PTA and ABR tests, this study may suggest a cochlear source of hearing impairment rather than neural problems. Level of Evidence3b. Laryngoscope, 2014

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children and adolescents in an endemic area: A report of 185 cases
Conclusions: In spite of the majority of patients diagnosed at the advanced stage, children and adolescents with NPC had excellent survival except metastatic disease. The TNM stage was the most relevant prognostic factor. A higher radiation dose (>68Gy) could not improve survival but could increase long-term morbidities.
