Overview
Common risk factors in the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma include the family history of cancer, smoking, some disease in ear, nose, and throat, inadequate consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, heavily alcohol consuming, herbal products and exposure to wood dust.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma include:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
- Family history of cancer (especially nasopharyngeal carcinoma): Family history of nasopharyngeal carcinomas can increases the risk of developing NPC to 4 to 10- fold rather than normal individuals.
- Tobacco smoking: Developing NPC in smokers is dose-dependent. Individuals with smoking more than 30 pack-year have a higher risk of developing NPC.
- Heavily alcohol consuming: The effects of alcohol on NPC is different based on the amount of consumption. Although heavy alcohol consumption is correlated with NPC, the low volume can have protective effects.
- Some diseases in the ear, nose or throat: Chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyp, otitis media
- Inadequate consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables
- Herbal products such as herbal medicine and traditional Chinese herbal tea
- Exposure to wood dust
