Abstract

EBV is strongly associated with the etiology of NPC. Strengthening the host-defence against this virus is considered to play a role in controlling NPC at advanced stage, besides the standard therapy. TF, with specific activity against EBV has shown favourable results when used in patients with Burkitt's lymphoma, another cancer associated with EBV. A pilot study was undertaken to see whether the same TF will have impact in NPC. Out of 12, all male, advanced stage NPC patients, 6 were treated with TF (group1) in addition to standard therapy, while the other 6 (group2) received non-specific therapy. Immune response was monitored by skin-window test. After a median follow-up of 61 months, the median survival for the group 1 was 44.5 months as against 19 months for group 2 (P = 0.025). None in group 2 could survive, while in group1, 3 are surviving, out of whom 2 had bony metastasis to start with. Cellular responses to autologous NPC tissue very well commensurated with the result.
