What is the cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a terrible disease. Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma should be treated as soon as possible. Recently, my uncle found out that patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor also told us some reasons for the formation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Now I will tell you the reasons for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

What is the cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Reason 1: according to the study of cell chromosome and human histocompatibility antigen (HLA), the obvious ethnic aggregation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) suggests that NPC may be a disease related to polygenic genetic factors.

Reason 2: environmental factors are also a cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Eating too much salted fish, cured meat and salted food containing nitrosamines can induce nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The contents of nickel and lead in drinking water are high, but the contents of zinc, copper and cadmium are relatively low.

Three kinds of Epstein Barr virus were isolated from nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues. There are high titers of EBV antibody in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The titer of EBV antibody is high in patients with severe disease. With the recovery of the disease, the titer of EBV antibody decreases, indicating that EBV is closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

matters needing attention

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients must have a positive and optimistic attitude to face and treat this disease, at the same time, they should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. In daily life, they can eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, and take appropriate physical exercise to improve their physical quality.
