Zhou L, et al. - Using 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 patients of nasopharyngeal carcinoma have been identified. The cohort consisted of 40.69% Caucasians, 11.34% African Americans, 40.16% Asians and 7.81% Hispanics. According to findings, Asians demonstrated a disease-specific survival benefit over Caucasians, African Americans and Hispanics, independent of sex, diagnostic age, grade, TNM staging, and treatment strategy. No significant difference was found between Hispanics and Caucasians.
