As much as 82% of respondents had received information about nasopharyngeal carcinoma from various sources. Knowledge was divided into 3 categories of levels, namely good (76-100% correct), fair (56-75% correct), and poor (56%). At the same time, attitude and behavior were divided into positive (score20) and negative (score20). The test results showed that the level of knowledge of the undergraduate students of 52% was good, the attitude was 100% positive, and the behavior was 100% positive. Therefore, undergraduate students at Tanjungpura University had good knowledge, a positive attitude, and positive behavior toward nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
