Tumours of the upper aerodigestive tract affect mainly industrial countries. Squamous cell carcinomas of the pharynx and larynx are linked to alcohol and tobacco abuse. Other factors (such as poor dental or nutritional status, viral or genetic or occupational factors) are, by far, of less importance. Glandular tumours of the ethmoid are, undoubtedly, due to wood dust exposure. Undifferentiated carcinoma of nasopharynx are associated with Epstein-Barr virus exposure, genetic profiles and diet behaviour.
上呼吸消化道肿瘤主要影响工业化国家。咽和喉的鳞状细胞癌与酗酒和吸烟有关。其他因素(如牙齿或营养状况差、病毒或遗传或职业因素)到目前为止重要性较低。筛窦的腺性肿瘤无疑与接触木尘有关。鼻咽癌与感染爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒、基因特征和饮食行为有关。
