Descriptive Epidemiology
The epidemiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
(NPC) is characterized by its unique geographic
distribution. Southern China has one of the highest
incidence rates of NPC in the world. Decades of
epidemiological studies have shown that NPC has unique
prevalence features, including regional, racial and familial

aggregation.
According to the global registry of cancer incidence,
NPC ranked 11th among all malignancies in China in
2008, with an incidence rate of 2.8/100 000 personyears
in men and 1.9/100 000 personyears in women. This
reflects the fact that the incidence and mortality rate of
NPC vary greatly in different areas in China (Table 1)[1,2].
The trend is towards a lower incidence rate in North and
West China and a higher rate in South and East China.
Five provinces, including Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi,
Hunan, and Fujian, have higher incidence rates of NPC.
Highest rates are noted among the Cantonese who
inhabit the cities and counties in Pearl River Delta and
West Pearl River Valley, of which Zhaoqing area,
Zhongshan City, and Guangzhou City form a core
highincidence zone[3]. Sihui City in Zhaoqing area has
the highest overall incidence, with a rate of 27.2/100 000
personyears in men and 11.3/100 000 personyears in
women in the year 2003[4]. In Northern China, no county
has an annual mortality rate higher than 3/100 000
persons. Since no complete NPC incidence data in
China can be obtained, the authoritative mortality data in
[5]
, published in
1979, was used as a reference to describe the overall
distribution of NPC (Figure 1).

High risk population
Definition
a) Subjects with an immunoenzymic assay titer of VCA/IgA 1:80; b)
Subjects in whom both titers of VCA/IgA and EA/IgA are 1:5; and c)
Subjects in whom either VCA/IgA and/or EA/IgA titer rises monotonically in
the screening periods.
