ABSTRACT

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is Indonesia’s most common type of head and neck malignancy. NPC presents non-specific signs and symptoms, which lead to late or missed diagnoses. Early detection and prevention are important based on the NPC profile. Objective: This study aims to reveal NPC’s sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar 2011 – 2021. Method: Observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted by using secondary data collecting medical records of all NPC patients in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar 2011 – 2021. Results: Out of 1.096 patients, 70.3% of the patients are male and most of them are Makassar and Bugis. A palpable lump in the neck is the most common complaint in presentation (28.8%), followed by nasal congestion (18.6%). Salted fish consumption was the most prevalent risk factor (28.1%). Conclusion: Studying sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of NPC patients are the most important factors that cause NPC problems.
