During radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the patient’s oral mucosa, including the throat, is affected by the reaction, which inevitably leads to radiation mucositis and radiation pharyngitis. Some patients may combine chemotherapy or targeted therapy during radiotherapy, which may also affect patients’ appetite.
The food that patients with nasopharyngeal cancer need to eat during treatment, especially during radiotherapy, is very important, as follows: 1. It is recommended that a balanced diet is needed, and patients need to strengthen the intake of high protein and vitamins, and eat more meals with less nutrition; 2. It is also recommended that we should reduce the intake of pickled products or marinated products during radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer, which is also meaningful for healthy people to avoid the occurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer.
