Objective: To analyze the clinical observation and prognosis of different radiotherapy for locally advanced NASOPHARYNGEAL Carcinoma. Methods: from January 2012 to December 2012,78 patients with locally advanced NASOPHARYNGEAL carcinoma were randomly divided into 2 groups (39 cases in each group), the control group (39 cases in each group) received conventional radiotherapy and the observation group (38 cases in each group) received intensity modulated radiation therapy (imrt). The quality of life (Qol), the incidence of side effects and the total remission rate were compared between the two groups. Results: Before treatment, the correlation scores of Qol in the two groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05) , while after treatment, the correlation scores of Qol in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of side effects in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The total remission rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with local advanced nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) can effectively reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, improve the quality of life and improve the curative effect.
