Nasopharyngeal Cancer Study

People from South China represent a high-risk population for nasopharyngeal cancer, a tumour that grows deep behind the nose. Our Nasopharyngeal Cancer Study led to the development of a screening test for early detection of the disease and has improved the survival rate of patients.

The study, under the direction of Dr. Jeremy Freeman, was a Mount Sinai Hospital collaboration with The Hospital for Sick Children, University Health Network, Rouge Valley Health System's Centenary Site, and community advisors.
