How is nasopharyngeal carcinoma caused

summary

A good friend I played with suddenly seems to have disappeared these days. I went to his home to find him. His mother told me that he had nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and now he is treated in the hospital. I'm really worried. It's the first time I've heard about nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Today, let me talk about how nasopharyngeal carcinoma is caused.

How is nasopharyngeal carcinoma caused

Factor 1: the etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is still unclear. The disease may be closely related to genetic, viral and environmental factors. Residents in high incidence areas are fond of local salted fish, meat and vegetables. The content of nitrite in these foods is very high, and there are a certain amount of nitrosamines and many kinds of compounds, which are easy to cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Factor 2: the age of smoking more than 20 years is the high incidence period of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, that is to say, the age group of 40 to 60 years is the high incidence age. At least 75% of the patients suffer from rhinitis cancer due to smoking and drinking. In addition, it is related to heredity, living habits, environment and other factors.

Factor 3: the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has obvious regional, obvious ethnic and familial aggregation. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma often occurs in yellow people, but rarely in white people. Families with high incidence rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma tend to remain high incidence if they move abroad.
