Background.
Worldwide evidence indicates that environmental and life-style related factors are associated with increased risk for cancers in the head and neck region.
We aim to study the association between these risk factors and cancers in the sinonasal and nasopharyngeal regions in our environment.
Methods.
Longitudinal prospective cohort study at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria.
Risk exposures were classified based on the International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of suspected carcinogens.
Associations between variables were analyzed using logistic regression.
Results.
We studied 44 patients with malignancies in nasopharynx (n= 24; 54.5%) and sinonasal regions (n= 20; 45.5%).
Male to female ratio is 1.9:1 and mean age is 45.2 years.
Alcohol was the commonest risk factor in males (n= 19; 43.2%) while cooking wood fumes were the commonest in females (n= 14; 31.8%) which was associated with increased risk for malignancies for all sites, showing ten times risk in nasal cancers (OR= 9.67; 95% CI 1.87- 9.88; p= 0.01).
Tobacco was associated with elevated risk of malignancies in the nasomaxillary and nasal regions.
Other risks were herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers in farmers.
Conclusion.
The significant risk exposures in females were cooking wood fumes and alcohol, tobacco, and exposure to agricultural chemicals in males.
Life-style modification and environmental changes to ensure clean air in Nigeria are essential to reduce risks.
