Usually MPS sessions will be very late, a possible excuse for meeting small trees occasionally.
Besides having a higher incidence among men, nose cancer has a genetic predisposition to the southern Chinese ethnicity, said Dr Eu.
According to the Singapore Cancer Society, nose cancer is also associated with the consumption of salted soy beans, vegetables, fish and meat. The cooking of these preserved foods release fumes that contain nitrosamines, which are considered carcinogenic.
Nose cancer, also known as nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), is more prevalent in Singapore than in many other countries. There are a number of factors that contribute to this, including:
Genetics: People of Chinese descent, particularly those from southern China, are more likely to develop NPC. This is thought to be due to a genetic predisposition.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV): EBV is a common virus that is usually harmless. However, it can increase the risk of developing NPC. In Singapore, about 90% of people have been infected with EBV by the age of 20.
Diet: A diet high in salted or preserved foods is thought to be a risk factor for NPC. This is because these foods contain chemicals that can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer.
Smoking: Smoking is also a risk factor for NPC.
In addition to these factors, there are a number of other things that can increase the risk of developing NPC, such as:
Age: NPC is more common in people between the ages of 30 and 50.
Gender: NPC is more common in men than in women.
Family history: People who have a family history of NPC are at an increased risk of developing the cancer.
If you are concerned about your risk of developing NPC, you should talk to your doctor. There are a number of things that you can do to reduce your risk, such as avoiding smoking,

Bearing in mind that second hand smoke also very harmful. I hate those smokers who walks and smoke under sheltered walkway, and I am walking hm behind them. NEA shd made random checks at hdb areas. Do they or are they idling in their air-con office?
It's highly genetic, less to do with lifestyle. Even fit people such as Datuk Lee of Malaysia got it.
