Overview
Epidemiology
NPC is uncommon in the United States and most other nations, but is extremely common in Taiwan and certain regions of China, accounting for 18% of all cancers in the latter nation. While NPC is seen primarily in middle-aged persons in Asia, a high proportion of African cases appear in children. The cause of increased risk for NPC in these endemic regions is not entirely clear.[1]
