What is the cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and what are the dietary therapies?

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a common disease that brings great trouble to patients. In order to prevent nasopharyngeal cancer, it is necessary to understand the cause and diet of nasopharyngeal cancer. Let me introduce the cause of nasopharyngeal cancer? What is diet therapy?

There are many causes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which are still unclear. The following are some of them:

1. Genetic factors

1. Many NPC patients have a family history of cancer. NPC has a vertical and horizontal family tendency.

2 Racial susceptibility: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mainly seen in the yellow race and rarely in the white race. The ethnic group with a high incidence rate has moved to other places or lived abroad, and the incidence rate of their offspring is still high.

2. Viral infection

Lymphoblastoid cell lines carrying the virus can be isolated from nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues, and a few virus particles can be seen under an electron microscope. Immunological and biochemical studies have confirmed that Epstein-Barr virus is closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The dynamic changes and monitoring of Epstein-Barr virus antibody titers can be used as indicators for clinical diagnosis, prognosis estimation, and follow-up monitoring.

In addition to EB, viruses such as coronavirus are also believed to be involved in the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

I hope you can stay away from the triggers and avoid nasopharyngeal cancer. What is the dietary therapy for nasopharyngeal cancer?
