1. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to heavily polluted environments.
2. Eat less salted fish, cured meats, and other similar foods, as they contain the carcinogenic substance nitrosamine.
3. Actively treat nasal and nasopharyngeal inflammations, ulcers, and other related conditions.
4. Do not underestimate recurring symptoms such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, and runny nose that persist despite treatment—seek prompt medical attention at a reputable hospital.
5. Individuals living in high-incidence areas for nasopharyngeal cancer, as well as those with a family history of the disease, are advised to undergo regular screening for nasopharyngeal cancer. EB virus testing can serve as one of the key indicators during these screenings, as approximately 80% of nasopharyngeal cancer patients test positive for the EB virus.
