Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Little is known about the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in relation to vitamin D exposure. The aim of this study was to examine the associations of NPC risk with serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and genetic predicted 25OHD, and potential effect modification by several putative risk factors of NPC. METHODS: Our multicenter case-control study in Hong Kong recruited 815 NPC...
