Challapalli SD, et al. - Across the minority US population, researchers assessed the disease-specific survival rate and predictive factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma survival. Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 13 database from 1992-2013 was used for this analysis. Among racial and ethnic minority groups in the US, there are disparities in nasopharyngeal carcinoma survival, with non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaskan Natives doing the worst. Compared with non-Hispanic Asians/Pacific Islanders, more than double hazards of death from nasopharyngeal cancer were seen in non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives.
