Can nasopharyngeal cancer be inherited by females?

Is nasopharyngeal carcinoma hereditary? This is what many nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients care about the most. So to know whether nasopharyngeal carcinoma is hereditary, we must have a clear understanding of the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. So, will patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma pass on nasopharyngeal carcinoma to the next generation?

The genetic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are related: the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is obviously regional, and has obvious racial and clan aggregation. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more common in yellow people, and it is rare to see blue-eyed people suffering from this disease. If a clan with a high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma moves abroad, their descendants will still have a high incidence rate.

Epidemiology has found that nasopharyngeal carcinoma has ethnic affinity and family aggregation. The incidence rate is very low in whites and blacks; while the incidence rate in my country is high, and it is mainly distributed in southern cities, and many patients have family histories. Many people in high-incidence areas have lived in the United States for a long time, and the incidence rate is still high in the first and second generations, and rarely occurs after the third and fourth generations.

This shows that genetic factors alone will not cause disease, and other factors must be added to form cancer; it also shows that genetics can change due to environmental changes. People with a family history should pay more attention to improving immune function and taking corresponding preventive measures to achieve the purpose of prevention.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that occurs in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hunan and other places in China are high-incidence areas. Due to the influence of various physical, chemical and biological factors, the incidence of cancer is getting higher and higher. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is indeed related to genetic factors, so many people who have already had nasopharyngeal carcinoma are wondering whether it will be inherited by their offspring. In fact, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is related to multiple factors. Infection with Epstein-Barr virus is significantly related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as dietary factors.

The causes of nasopharyngeal cancer include avoiding inhalation of harmful gases, such as asbestos, nickel, forced smoking, radiation, etc. Except forced smoking, the others are all related to production environment pollution, so it is necessary to protect the environment from being polluted. We must also strengthen our own protection. We must pay attention to preventing other inducements. Only genetic factors will not cause nasopharyngeal cancer.

The above article introduces the causes and factors of nasopharyngeal cancer. I believe that everyone has already understood whether nasopharyngeal cancer is hereditary. Therefore, do not pay too much attention to the harm caused by nasopharyngeal cancer. You should pay more attention to the prevention of nasopharyngeal cancer in your daily life. Only in this way can you and your family live a healthy life.
