Abstract
During the past two decades, the incidence of NPC in The Netherlands decreased mainly by less keratinizing, supposedly smoking-related NPC (WHO-I). However, the incidence of non-keratinizing NPC (WHO-IIA, B) increased, most likely due to EBV infection and thus related to higher immigration levels of people from high-incidence areas.
