TL;DR
The study explores how race and ethnicity are linked to different types of nasopharyngeal cancer in the US.
Contribution
It is the first study to examine race-ethnicity associations with nasopharyngeal cancer subtypes in the US population.
Findings
Race and ethnicity are significantly associated with nasopharyngeal cancer histologic subtypes.
Non-Hispanic Black patients were more likely to have non-keratinizing subtypes compared to non-Hispanic White patients.
Abstract
