Abstract Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is malignancy of squamous cells on nasopharyngeal epithelial layer and is the most common otorhinolaryngology malignancy found in Indonesia. Etiology of NPC is multifactorial including food, environment, genetics, and Epstein-Barr virus infection. Mosquito coils contain volatile carcinogens, such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde which may cause malignancy on upper respiratory tract epithelial cells. The study aimed to understand the association between mosquito coils use with incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: This was a hospital-based unmatched case control study design involving 80 patients on Oncology Clinic of Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from September to October 2015. The questionnaire about NPC risk factor exposure including history of mosquito coil use was applied as study instrument. Statistical analysis used chi-square test to acquire the association between two categoriscal variables and was considered significant if p value is <0,05. Result: Percentage of mosquito coil users in case group (52.7%) was higher than in control group (30%). Statistical analysis using chi-square test revealed p = 0.041 with OR (CI 95%) equals to 2.58 (1.03-6.45). This result showed that mosquito coil use might increase risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma incidence by 2.58 fold. Conclusion: There is an association between mosquito coils use with of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Keywords: Mosquito coil; nasopharyngeal carcinoma; risk factor

Introduction

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy of squamous cells on

nasopharyngeal epithelial layer.1 The prevalence of NPC in Indonesia is 6.2 per

100,000 residents per year or around 12,000 cases per year and is the most commonly

found otolaryngology malignancy in Indonesia.2 There are 692 (43,7%) NPC patients

in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung within 2010-2014 with more male

patients (65.7%) and occur most in the 46-55 age group (29.6%).3 The etiology of

NPC is multifactorial; food (salt-preserved fish consumption) , environmental (mosquito

coil, sawdust, and insecticide exposure), genetic, and Epstein-Barr infection have

been proven as risk factors for NPC.4, 5

Some research has found that gas phase of mosquito coils contain some

carbonyl compounds, such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which may irritate

upper respiratory tract.6 Formaldehyde is proven to have carcinogenic effect towards

humans and nasal part of mice. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)

has proven formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are significantly associated with

occurrence of NPC. Acetaldehyde-bound cells will undergo replication problems and

oncogenic mutation.7,8 Basic Health Research in 2013 shows Indonesia mosquito coil

use is 48.4%, followed by mosquito net bed canopy (25.9%), mosquito repellent

(16.9%), insecticide (12.2%) and window mosquito mesh (8.0%).9 Based on these

regards, a study is conducted to understand the association between mosquito coils

use with incidence of NPC.

Methods

Hospital-based unmatched case control study design were used in this

research. Data collection was started from obtaining the outcome or dependent

variable, the case group, which was NPC patients presented to Oncology Clinic of

Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Department of Hasan Sadikin General

Hospital, Bandung diagnosed based on histopathology result; and control group,

which were patients with other malignancies other than NPC presented to the clinic

of Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Hasan Sadikin

General Hospital, Bandung. Anamnesis was done on both groups using questionnaire

adapted from Head and Neck Surgery Oncology Study Group, Indonesian

Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Society to recognize sample behavior in

using mosquito coil and assess risk factors of NPC, which include alcohol

consumption, sawdust exposure, routine insecticide exposure, family history,

smoking history and consuming salt-preserved fish since childhood. This study has

been approved by Hasan Sadikin General Hospital ethical committee and informed

consent has been done to all respondents.

Unpaired comparative analysis formula was used to calculate sample size

with alpha standard deviation Zα = 1.96 and beta standard deviation Zβ = 0.84; value

of P1 = 0.79 and P2 = 0.49; thus, sample size was calculated as 40 for each case and

control group, or 80 people in total. Non probability consecutive sampling was done

to select sample; patients presented to Oncology Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology-Head

and Neck Surgery Department of Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung within

September to October 2015 were appointed as samples on this study. Collected data

were selected based on the inclusion criteria, which was NPC patients diagnosed

based on histopathology result; and the exclusion criteria, which was patients with

multiple malignancies.

Chi square test was used to test association between two categorical

variables. Significance of the test result was determined by p value, should p < 0.05,

the result was considered significant or that there was relation between the two

variables. Excess risk was measured by calculating odds ratio (OR) and confidence

interval (CI) 95%.

Results

There were 83 data obtained using non probability consecutive sampling

technique. Among the 83 data, 3 were excluded due to incomplete data. From the

remaining data, there were 40 data for each case and control group, thus made total

80 data.

On this research, most case group respondents were male (65%), while in

control group were female (57.5%). In terms of age, most case group respondents

were aged 50-59 years (30%), while in control group most were aged 30-39 years and

≥60 years, which is 20% for each age group. Most respondents, 85.5% on case group

and 95% on control group, were not consuming alcohol. There were more

respondents (85% of each case and control group) not exposed to sawdust than the

exposed ones.

In terms of family history, most respondents (90% of case group and 87.5%

of control group) did not have family history of cancer. Most respondents had more

than 10 years of smoking history; 42.5% of the case group and 35% of the control

group. More respondents (70%) of the case group routinely consumed salt-preserved

fish. Meanwhile, more respondents (57.5%) of the control group did not routinely

consume salt-preserved fish.

variables mosquito coils use and NPC incidence resulted in p value <0.05 with OR

2.58. This showed a significant test result between two variables; mosquito coil use

might increase risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma incidence by 2.58 fold.

After mosquito coil user data were obtained, sub analysis was done to

identify association between amounts of mosquito coils used with incidence of

nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Table 3) and association between duration of mosquito

coils use with incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Table 4).

Most respondents (90.5% of case group and 100% of control group) used

less amount of mosquito coils. Statistical analysis using chi-square test revealed p

value >0.05 with OR 0.312 which was achieved by adding 0,5 in every cells. This

showed an insignificant test result between both variables, or that there was no

association between the amounts of mosquito coils used with the incidence of NPC.

were higher (75.0%). Statistical analysis using chi-square test revealed p value <0.05

with OR 7.50. This showed a significant test result between both variables, or that

there was association between the duration of mosquito coils use with the incidence

of NPC.

Discussions

This study showed that there were association between gender and

nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Table 1 showed p value <0.05 for sex variable and OR

2.51, which meant male had 2.51 fold higher risk of having nasopharyngeal

carcinoma compared to female. This result was parallel to previous research

conducted by Adham et al. in Indonesia that showed NPC patients male to female

ratio was 2.4:1.2 The ratio differences might occur because of a protective role of

estrogen in women.17

Page 16: ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOSQUITO COILS USE … · ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOSQUITO COILS USE WITH NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA JOURNAL ARTICLE Submitted in partial …

Study result about association between age and nasopharyngeal carcinoma

did not reveal significant result. NPC group was dominated with people from 50-59

age group, this corresponded with previous hospital-based research held by Chang et

al. in the United States that showed the peak age of NPC patients was from the 50-59

age group and the prevalence was declining on older age, this occurred due to higher

carcinogen exposures on younger age.10

There were no correlation between alcohol consumption, sawdust exposure,

routine insecticide exposure, family history of cancer, and smoking history with the

incidence of NPC. This result suited with a previously held hospital-based research

by Polesel J et al. in Italy that each alcohol consumption and smoking history was not

associated with the incidence of NPC.11 However, this result did not correspond with

a case control study conducted by Ji Xuemei et al. in China that showed smoking

history and family history had significant association with the incidence of NPC.

Uncertain association between those risk factors with incidence of NPC was probably

due to multifactorial NPC etiology, thus effects of those factors might be

overwhelmed by other risk factors such as salt-preserved fish consumption and

mosquito coil use.12

This research showed that routine salt-preserved fish consumption and

incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were associated; that routinely consuming

salt-preserved fish might increase risk of NPC incidence by 3.15 fold. This suited

preceding research by Tabuchi et al. in Japan which stated that people who routinely

consume salt-preserved fish had higher risk of having NPC.13 The reason behind this

Page 17: ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOSQUITO COILS USE … · ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOSQUITO COILS USE WITH NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA JOURNAL ARTICLE Submitted in partial …

10

statement was because salt-preserved fish contained nitrosamine which might cause

carcinogenesis on nasopharyx epithelial cells.12

Analysis test result on Table 2 showed that mosquito coil use and NPC were

associated. This result meant that mosquito coil use might increase risk of NPC

incidence by 2.58 fold. This result corresponded with an earlier research conducted

by Moore MA et al. in Indonesia and Malaysia which stated that mosquito coils had

been proven to be a risk factor of NPC.14 This was possible because of the presence

of carcinogenic substance contained on the mosquito coil smoke which was proven to

be a risk factor of lung cancer and NPC in some countries, such as Taiwan and

Philippines.15 IARC had also proven that formaldehyde, which composed mosquito

coils, had a significant association with incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.7

Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which were constituents of mosquito coil smoke,

might bind with intracellular proteins thus disturbing DNA replication process and

causing oncogenic mutation, and eventually caused morphological, cell function and

immunological reaction abnormalities on nasopharynx epithelial cells.8 In vivo

experiment on mammals had been done by Seithz et al. and had proven that

acetaldehyde might cause mutagenic lesions in DNA. IARC stated that formaldehyde

and acetaldehyde were proven to be carcinogenic based on animal trials.7,8

There was no significant association between amounts of mosquito coil used

with incidence of NPC. This did not correspond with prior research conducted by

Shaltamer et al. which stated that even small concentration of formaldehyde (0.2-0.3

ppm) might cause irritation to the nasopharynx.16 This unsuitability might be resulted

Page 18: ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOSQUITO COILS USE … · ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOSQUITO COILS USE WITH NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA JOURNAL ARTICLE Submitted in partial …

11

from the number of respondent which is smaller on this research, thus reducing the

precision of the study and did not elaborate well the condition of the population.

Analysis test result on Table 4 showed that duration of mosquito coil use and

NPC were associated. There hadn’t been studies conducted to explain this

phenomenon, but it was assumed to happen because prolonged exposure could cause

more severe irritation to epithelial layer of the nasopharynx.

Mosquito coil use might increase the incidence of nasopharyngeal

carcinoma. Limitation of this research was that partial restriction in subject selection

which aimed to increase precision and research efficiency (matching) was not done

on case group, since this was a hospital-based research, hence it needed less number

of respondents. Besides, questionnaire was used on this research, hence recall bias,

which was false information given by the respondents while trying to recall the

experienced risk factor exposures, might occur thus decreased the data accuracy.

With the knowledge of association between mosquito coil use with incidence of NPC,

this research humbly suggested health care professionals and health care services

should focus on preventing NPC since this disease could be prevented by avoiding its

risk factors.
