Hi - Nasopharyngeal cancer isn't infectious and can't be passed form one person to another, if that's what you meant. If you mean, can it be passed on genetically — I don't know of any research that says it can. But I'm not a doctor - perhaps this is a question you could ask your doctor? Good luck - PJH
