Numerous studies have linked common subtypes of NPC to infection with the [[Epstein-Barr virus]] (EBV), which has also been implicated in the development of other cancers such as [[Hodgkin's disease]], [[Burkitt's lymphoma]], and [[HIV]]-associated [[lymphoma]]s. There is some evidence that [[human genetics|genetic]] factors, such as [[HLA type]] may play a role in the susceptibility of certain ethnic groups to NPC. Finally, dietary risk factors, such as the consumption of salt-cured fish high in [[nitrosamines]], may play a role in the Asian endemic regions. Well-differentiated NPC, with a [[histopathology|microscopic appearance]] most similar to other [[head and neck cancer|squamous cell cancers of the head and neck]] may be more closely associated with the standard risk factors for that disease, such as [[cigarette smoking]].<ref name="Weidner's">{{cite book |author=Richard Cote, Saul Suster, Lawrence Weiss, Noel Weidner (Editor) |title=Modern Surgical Pathology (2 Volume Set) |publisher=W B Saunders |location=London |year= |pages= |isbn=0-7216-7253-1 |oclc= |doi=}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=Ian F Tannock, Richard P.
