Abstract
Although nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare cancer in the United States, it is a leading cause of death in other countries. Dr Titcomb reviews several facts about NPC that can be helpful to underwriters as they encounter this tumor in applicants who reside in, or who are a native of, an area of high incidence.
