## Abstract Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is multifactorial, and the genetic background may be a crucial etiologic factor. Interleukinβ12 (ILβ12) is a multifunctional cytokine that induces interferon (IFN)βgamma secretion and plays an important role in antitumor immunity. Interleukinβ27 (ILβ27) is
## Communicated by Stephen Chanock Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in cancer initiation and development. Several polymorphisms in the promoters of a number of MMP genes, which can affect the respective MMP production in an allele-specific manner, have been well characterized.
