There are more and more people suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer in life, so nasopharyngeal cancer is also one of the cancer killers. So, what causes nasopharyngeal cancer? Let us take this question together and learn from the following article what are the main causes of nasopharyngeal cancer .

1. Environmental factors are one of the causes of nasopharyngeal cancer. According to surveys, the content of trace element nickel in rice and water in areas with high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer is higher than that in areas with low incidence. The nickel content in the hair of nasopharyngeal cancer patients is also high. Eating salted fish and pickled food is a high-risk factor for nasopharyngeal cancer in southern China, and it is related to the age, duration, frequency and cooking method of eating salted fish. This is related to the high concentration of nitrosamine compounds in salted fish and pickled products.

2. There is a racial and familial clustering of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. The cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma may be a genetic disease. Recently, the correlation between certain genetic factors that determine HLA and nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been discovered. There are reports that the chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes in families with a high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is related to the genetic susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The above is a detailed description of the factors that lead to nasopharyngeal cancer.
