To prevent nasopharyngeal cancer, you must first quit smoking

The primary prevention of nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to promoting the health of patients and reducing or avoiding contact with risk factors to prevent cancer. In daily life, we are exposed to many risk factors, the most common of which is smoking.

According to surveys, smoking is associated with 30% of cancers. Tobacco tar contains a variety of carcinogens and cancer-promoting substances, such as 3,4-benzopyrene, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrosamines, etc. When tobacco smoke is inhaled, tar particles adhere to the bronchial and nasopharyngeal mucosa, and long-term chronic stimulation can induce cancer.

According to statistics, the incidence of cancer in people who are exposed to passive smoking is more than twice that of smokers. Smoking not only harms the health of oneself and one's family, but also pollutes the environment. For the health of you and your family, please refuse to smoke.

There are certain risk factors for the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. By doing a good job in preventing these risk factors, the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be reduced to a certain extent.
