Abstract: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a form of head and neck cancer of multifactorial etiologies that is highly prevalent among men in the population of Southern China and Southeast Asia.[eurekaselect.com]
The field of other/contributing etiological factors are only partially known and recently a subset of this carcinoma has been linked to transcriptionally active Human Papilloma virus.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Over several generations, the prevalence among Chinese-Americans gradually decreases to that among non-Chinese Americans, suggesting an environmental component to etiology.[merckmanuals.com]

NPC has claimed many thousands of lives worldwide; but the low awareness of NPC remains a hindrance in early diagnosis and prevention of the disease.[eurekaselect.com]
This gene cluster is deleted in about 40% of NPC tumors, suggesting that they are crucial for preventing cancerous growth. Additionally, this same SNP CDKN2A/CDKN2B SNP associated with NPC risk has been linked to glioma in European populations.[blog.23andme.com]
