Jacob Miller, MD, a Radiation Oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, joins the Cancer Advances podcast to share his insights on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) screening and his trial presented at the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2023 Annual Meeting. NPC is rare in the United States but prevalent in Southern China, primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Listen as Dr. Miller explains his screening trial that resulted in earlier-stage diagnoses and improved outcomes, as well as lessons from this research that may inform screening strategies for other cancers.
