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.
一项对以色列全国范围内9年(1960 - 1968年)鼻咽癌情况的研究表明,男性的年平均发病率为每10万人中有1.0例,女性为每10万人中有0.4例。在出生于北非的居民中观察到发病率显著更高(男性为3.0例,女性为1.1例)。在淋巴上皮瘤患者以及无神经并发症的患者中,女性的生存率相对更好。这些结果可能支持病因中存在环境因素,不过遗传易感性也不能排除。
