Nasopharyngeal cancer in a total population: selected clinical and epidemiological aspects.

A nationwide study of nasopharyngeal cancer in Israel, during a 9-year period (1960-68) demonstrated a mean annual incidence rate of 1.0 per 100,000 in males and 0.4 per 100,000 in females. Significantly higher incidence was observed in residents born in North Africa (3.0 in males and 1. 1 in female...

description A nationwide study of nasopharyngeal cancer in Israel, during a 9-year period (1960-68) demonstrated a mean annual incidence rate of 1.0 per 100,000 in males and 0.4 per 100,000 in females. Significantly higher incidence was observed in residents born in North Africa (3.0 in males and 1. 1 in females). Survival was relatively better in females among patients with lymphoepithelioma and in those without neurological complications. The results may support the presence of environmental factors in aetiology, though genetic predisposition cannot be ruled out.
