Is nasopharyngeal carcinoma contagious and what is the cause of the disease

Is nasopharyngeal cancer contagious? What causes it?

Doctors have shown that nasopharyngeal cancer is not contagious. The best treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer is radiotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine for comprehensive treatment and recuperation, which can effectively control the disease and improve and control the patient's condition in the shortest time, achieving the most ideal effect.

Experts say that treatment must follow certain professional standards. Generally, chemotherapy or traditional Chinese medicine will be combined with radiotherapy to consolidate treatment and prevent recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma after surgery.

The causes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are generally believed to be related to genetic factors, viral infection, inhalation or ingestion of carcinogens, etc.

1. Viral infection: A large number of investigations and studies have shown that Epstein-Barr virus infection is closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Some experts even believe that Epstein-Barr virus may be the cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

2. Genetic factors: Clinical data confirm that nasopharyngeal carcinoma has a genetic tendency. According to clinical statistics, the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has obvious racial and family clustering. About 10% of patients have a family history of cancer, and there are several people in the same family who are sick, and it is mainly seen in the yellow race, suggesting that the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma may be related to genetics.

3. Environmental and dietary factors: The occurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer is also related to the living environment and carcinogens in daily life. Data show that people who like to eat foods containing nitrosamine compounds such as salted fish have a significantly higher incidence rate.
