About this trial
The purpose of this study is to establish a comprehensive and integrated nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening cohort, which includes an epidemiological information database containing basic information, gender, age, ethnic and family history, dietary and lifestyle habits, and geographical environmental factors; a biobank of blood, tissue fluid, swabs, etc., for Epstein-Barr virus, tumors, and genetics; a clinical examination database including nasopharyngoscopy, imaging, pathology, and other examinations; and databases of Epstein-Barr virus and human genetic sequencing, etc.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
A data platform for an NPC screening cohort
A data platform, including an NPC epidemiological information database based on the gender, age, ethnicity, dietary and lifestyle habits, and geographical environmental factors, a biobank based on various samples and screening test results, and a clinical examination database based on nasopharyngoscopy, head and neck MRI, and a database for EB virus and human genetic sequencing information.
Secondary outcomes
Prevalence and incidence rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Endoscopy combined with or without biopsy is performed to evaluate the prevalence and rate of new cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, in a cohort study, and to identify the associated factors related with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Death Rates
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma deaths confirmed in participants by a death review committee if available, otherwise by death certificate. Rate is the number of deaths divided by person years of follow-up in the study.
Death Rates From All Causes
Deaths confirmed in participants by a death review committee if available, otherwise by death certificate. Rate is the number of deaths divided by person years of follow-up in the study.
