Abstract
Yugoslavia is composed of eight republics, some being close to the Mediterranean Sea, while others are situated in the northeastern part of the Alps, each having different life styles and food traditions. In order to investigate the prevalence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in these different regions, a retrospective analysis of ENT tumors seen between 1981 and 1983 in eight different clinics was carried out. As seen in table 1, a ten-fold difference in the NPC prevalence (here calculated in minimal incidence rate) was observed between different Yugoslavian towns.
