First of all, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the top and lateral wall of the nasopharyngeal cavity. It is one of the most frequent malignant tumors in China, and its incidence rate is the first of Otorhinolaryngology malignant tumors. The common clinical symptoms were nasal congestion, blood in the nose, ear congestion, hearing loss, diplopia and headache. Radiotherapy is the first choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, surgical resection and chemotherapy are also indispensable for patients with well differentiated carcinoma, late course of disease and recurrence after radiotherapy.

Secondly, radiotherapy is the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and the residual lesions can be removed surgically. The irradiation range included nasopharynx, skull base, neck and orbit. The primary dose was 65-70 Gy and the secondary dose was 50-60 Gy. The prognosis is poor because the tumor is prone to recurrence and early metastasis. The 5-year survival rate of squamous cell carcinoma is 0% - 10% in radiosensitive group and 30% in radiosensitive group.

Finally, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after surgery should pay attention to their daily diet. Some foods are easy to produce gas, which makes the patients feel full, so they should avoid eating. However, whether the food will produce gas and cause discomfort varies from person to person, and it can be decided according to personal experience. Too hard food such as fried rice and barbecue, glutinous rice products such as New Year cake and zongzi, and various desserts, cakes, fried food and ice food often cause discomfort of patients, so we should pay attention to the choice.
