ABSTRACT

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a cancer that occurs in the nasopharyngeal area and has a unique epidemiology with varying incidence rates around the world. The epidemiological characteristics of NPC show the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand the epidemiology of NPC since it is crucial for understanding the causes and the prevention methods for NPC. Currently, the world faces health problems with an epidemiological transition from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases, including cancer such as NPC. Conclusion: The risk factors for NPC are age, gender, race, education, socioeconomic status, genetic factors, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and exposure to carcinogens through food and smoking. The incidence of NPC is more commonly found in men and Asians. NPC patients found at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia are more commonly found in patients aged 41-50 years old, male, with a low level of education.
