Age & Gender
Why is it important?
The risk for Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) changes depending on age and gender. The risk factor rises sharply after a certain age, which is usually 30 and peaks at around 55. The incident rate between males and females also differs.

Family History
![]() Has any first degree relative (e.g., parents and siblings) ever been diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC)?
Family History
![]() Has any second degree relative (e.g., cousins, nieces or nephews) ever been diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC)?
Ethnic Background
Why is it important?
A person’s genetic background is a key factor in determining the risk of developing Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC). Even though NPC is rare in many populations, certain ethnic groups have a much higher likelihood of developing the disease.

Results from a number of prospective epidemiological studies of the occurrence and risks in certain groups revealed that chronic smoking was a risk factor for NPC. Most studies performed in China and the United States showed that drinking alcohol did not have a significant role in the development of NPC. Results from a number of prospective epidemiological studies of the occurrence and risks in certain groups revealed that chronic smoking was a risk factor for NPC. Most studies performed in China and the United States showed that drinking alcohol did not have a significant role in the development of NPC. Results from published studies have shown that dietary intake of nitrite and nitrosamine, used especially in Cantonese salted fish and preserved foods; occupational exposure to wood dust and formaldehyde, environmental cofactors, familial tendency, and genetic background are associated with a significantly increased risk of Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) according to the American Cancer Society.
Viral Infection
Why is it important?
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) was classified by the International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) as a Class I carcinogen for Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) in 1997; however, EBV alone is not sufficient to cause NPC. NPC has a multifactorial etiology which means it has many causes involving viral, genetic and environmental factors that can contribute to the development of NPC.

Am I at risk for developing NPC (Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma)? There are many causes of NPC, including: viral infection, genetic susceptibility, and environmental factors. Genetic background plays a key role in predisposing or making someone more likely to experience increased susceptibility to this cancer.
