Discovering the causes of cancer and the means of prevention

Nasopharynx, Nasal Cavity, and Paranasal Sinus

DCEG researchers conduct studies on cancers of the nasopharynx, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinus. In some regions of the world, the majority of these cancers are related to infection with Epstein-Barr virus. Selected studies include:

  • Nasopharyngeal Case-Control Study

    A case-control study conducted in Taiwan between 1991-1994 among approximately 1,000 individuals to examine the role of viral, environmental, and genetic factors associated with the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

  • Nasopharyngeal Family Study

    A family study in Taiwan to elucidate genetic factors linked to the development of nasopharyngeal cancer
