Zur Epidemiologie des Nasopharynxkarzinoms

  • Conference paper

Zusammenfassung

Das überdurchschnittlich häufige Auftreten von Nasopharynxkarzinomen in Südchina ist seit mehr als 50 Jahren bekannt. Ho [17] fand die ersten Hinweise auf ein vermehrtes Auftreten von Nasopharynxkarzinomen in Protokollen des Pathologischen Instituts in Singapur aus dem Jahre 1924, wo 5 von 40 bei der Autopsie diagnostizierten Karzinomen im Nasopharynx lokalisiert waren. Auch in Berichten aus dem Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Kanton geht hervor, daß in den Jahren 1907–1912 immerhin 17% der bei der Autopsie diagnostizierten Karzinome im Nasopharynx lokalisiert waren [33]. Das gehäufte Auftreten dieses Tumors im südchinesischen Raum scheint demnach nicht unbedingt durch moderne Umwelteinflüsse oder berufliche Exposition gegenüber kanzerogenen Substanzen bedingt zu sein [17].
