At present, immunoenzymatic method is widely used to detect IgA / VCA and IgA / EA antibody titers of Epstein Barr virus. The former has higher sensitivity and lower accuracy, while the latter is just the opposite. Therefore, the detection of both antibodies should be carried out simultaneously in patients with suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is helpful for early diagnosis. For patients with IgA / VCA titer ≥ 1:40 and / or IgA / EA titer ≥ 1:5, exfoliated cells or biopsies should be taken from the site of NPC even if there is no abnormality in the nasopharynx. If the diagnosis is not confirmed at the moment, regular follow-up should be carried out, and multiple biopsy should be performed if necessary.
