• The global health burden of infection‐associated cancers in the year 2002 (2006, background): “Genetic and environmental (particularly dietary) factors are certainly important in aetiology.(66) In addition, antibodies to various components of the EBV are raised in NPC cases, and increase in titre as the disease progresses.”
• Epstein–Barr virus: 40 years on (2004, background): “The EBV-associated, undifferentiated form of NPC — World Health Organization (WHO) type III — shows the most consistent worldwide association with EBV and is particularly common in areas of China and south-east Asia, reaching a peak incidence of around 20–30 cases per 100,000 (Ref”
• The Enigmatic Epidemiology of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (2006, background): “Arising in the epithelial lining of the nasopharynx, NPC comprises the vast majority of nasopharyngeal cancers in both high- and low-incidence populations (3-6).”
