Abstract Guangdong Province of China is the highest incidence place of naso-pharyngeal cancer in the world. The concentrations of 19 trace elements in hair of 90 naso-pharyngeal cancer patients in Guangdong Province have been measured by the PIXE technique. By using the Maximum Probable Discrimination Method to distinguish naso-pharyngeal cancer patients from healthy people, we get up to 91.1% validity of differential diagnosis and get some indication that special trace elements participate in carcinogenesis.
