Article Synopsis
- EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) significantly affects Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders in the U.S. who lack screening access, and early detection has proven effective in Asian trials.
- Analysis of NPC incidence data highlighted that 10.7% of the U.S. population accounts for 42.7% of NPC cases, with anti-BNLF2b screening being the most effective method, potentially reducing mortality significantly.
- The recommended target group for NPC screening in the U.S. consists of certain ethnic men and women aged 35 to 65, indicating that a one-time screening approach could be both effective and economically feasible.
