Alpha-fetoprotein–producing recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A case report

Alpha-fetoprotein hardly increased due to nasopharyngeal cancer. In this article, we reported a 57-year-old male nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient who had posttreatment subscapular metastasis with high serum alpha-fetoprotein but negative plasma Epstein–Barr virus DNA. Pathology results indicated tha...
