Zhou L, et al. - Utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result database, researchers ascertained if the racial/ethnical disparity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma exists among the four major ethical groups in the United States named Asians, Caucasians, African Americans and Hispanics between the years of 1973 to 2013. In total, 8,068 eligible individuals of nasopharyngeal carcinoma have been identified. The cohort consisted of 40.69% Caucasians, 11.34% African Americans, 40.16% Asians and 7.81% Hispanics. No significant difference was observed between Hispanics and Caucasians. Based on the findings of this study, Asians demonstrated a disease-specific survival benefit over Caucasians, African Americans and Hispanics, independent of gender, diagnostic age, grade, TNM staging, and treatment strategy.
