Epidemiological and clinical study of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Northern Morocco.

What is it about?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a multifactorial disease resulting from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Being the first of its kind in Northern Morocco, Our study showed that NPC is a particular cancer with a late declaration problem. It is common in Morocco as is the case in other endemic areas with a high prevalence and a remarkable sex disparity due to the higher risk in males. Patient's survival is significantly influenced by disease staging.
