First time posting because haven't seen any nasopharyngeal entries. NPC is sometimes called Canton Cancer but this relates to one type which is by far the most commonly diagnosed and certainly known risks are salty cured foods. EBV is implicated but there is an increase in Caucasians being diagnosed with some of the same risk factors as SCC oral cancers. My husband had no known risk factors and keeps being told that he is really unlucky.
