Plasma Metabolic Profiles-Based Prediction of Induction Chemotherapy Efficacy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Results of a Bidirectional Clinical Trial.

In this study, we found that dysregulation of plasma lipoprotein may result in resistance to IC in NPC patients. The prediction model constructed based on the plasma metabolites' profile has good predictive capabilities and potential for real-world generalization. This discovery has implications for the development of treatment strategies and may offer insight into potential targets for enhancing the effectiveness of IC.
