Causes of death of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Not long ago, my uncle found out that he suffered from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Fortunately, he went to the hospital in time for surgical treatment. Now his condition is under control. For patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, do you want to know the cause of death of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Causes of death of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Reason 1: virus factor more than 90% of people in China have been infected with EB virus when they were young. The so-called EB virus is human herpesvirus. The relationship between Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has been confirmed by immunological and biochemical studies.

The second reason: the environmental factors report shows that the mortality rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Chinese emigrants gradually decreases with the genetic generation. On the contrary, Caucasians born in Southeast Asia have a higher risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The third reason: chemical factors in some areas with high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, such as residents in Guangdong and Guangxi often eat salted fish, bacon, pickles and other food, these foods contain a lot of nitrite and a certain amount of nitrosamines and a variety of compounds, which are easy to lead to the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

matters needing attention

For patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, early detection and early treatment should be done. The incidence of genetic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has obvious regional, ethnic and familial aggregation. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more common in yellow people than in white people. The high incidence rate of ethnic groups, even if they migrate to their descendants, still maintain a high incidence rate.
