Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an epithelial malignancy that is specifically endemic in Southern China (age-standardized incidence rate: ASR = 30-50/105 per year) and Southeast Asia (ASR = 9-12/105 per year) but it is uncommon in the rest of the world (McDermott et al., 2001). NPC is one of the top ten cancers in Thailand (ASR = 3-10 /105 per year) and causes dramatical loss of human resourc...
