Nasal cancer is relatively rare. Each year in the United States there are about 1000 new cases of nasal and paranasal sinus cancer leading to about 300 deaths annually from this disease. Men are affected twice as often as women. Overall, nasal cancer represents less than ) 0.5% of all new cancers each year, affecting one out of 100,000 Americans. and it is more common in blacks than whites, and in those of “lower socioeconomic status” (poor people). The average patient is 60 years old. However, some rarer subtypes of nasal cancer (esthesioneuroblastoma and nasal lymphoma) occur primarily in patients under between 20 and 40 years old. The disease is more common in Asia Minor and China than the Western Countries, and worldwide appears to be slowly increasing-- probably owing to better detection.
