| Abstract | To study the risk of second primary cancers in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients and the risk of NPC as second primary cancer.We used data from the cancer registries from Singapore and from 12 low-incidence areas, including a total of 8,947 first occurring NPC cases, and 167 second occurring cases. We calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) by comparing the second cancer incidence in NPC patients to the first primary cancer incidence in non-cancer population. We also calculated SIRs of second NPC after other primaries.In Singapore, the risk of cancers of the lung (SIR = 0.42), stomach (SIR = 0.41), and colon (SIR = 0.23) was significantly decreased after NPC, whereas that of cancer of the tongue (SIR = 11.1) was significantly increased. In Australia, Canada, and Europe, the risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) (SIR = 3.06), tongue cancer (SIR = 5.29), brain cancer (SIR = 3.89), myeloid leukemia (SIR = 3.85), and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) (SIR = 3.47) was significantly increased after NPC. Incidences of second occurring NPCs following various primary cancers were not significantly altered compared to the incidence of first occurring NPCs.Immune suppression (NHL, NMSC), shared genetic factors (lung cancer, NHL, myeloid leukemia), and shared environmental risk factors (tongue and brain cancers) might explain the associations. Except for NHL, there was no evidence of association with other Epstein-Barr virus-related cancers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
