CAIX remarkably expresses in human NPCs and stratifies patient prognosis. In preclinical studies, CAIX-800-based imaging successfully identifies occult LNMs and tracks early stage of pathological ENE. This attractive method shows potential in clinic, allowing medical workers to longitudinally monitor nodal status and helping to reduce unnecessary nodal biopsy for patients with NPC. The schematic diagram for the study. CAIX, carbonic anhydrase IX; NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; US, ultrasonography; sPA, spectroscopic photoacoustic.
