Twenty elements in two samples of nasal-pharynx cancerous tissue (NPCT) have been measured with PIXE. The results show that the element concentrations of calcium and zinc are very high, up to several thousand micrograms/g. Compared with results from other types of cancer patients, trace element concentrations in NPCT seem to be in a special status.
