Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Nutrition support

Regular diet

Arm Description

Nutrison was added to regular diet while the patients can be fed through mouth. Nutrison will replace regular diet by NG or PEG while the patients can not eat for serious oral mucositis.

Regular diet without other nutritional intervention.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The chemo-radiotherapy for the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients will induce the mucosal ulcer and damage salivary glands. Consequently, it can disturb the nutrition conditions and clinical outcomes of patients. This research tries to evaluate the nutrition status at the baseline, before and after radiotherapy, during the follow-up by the body mass index, hematological indexes, immunological indexes, and nutrition questionnaires including PG-SGA and NRS 2002. Through the evaluation of two different nutritional interventions, the investigators aim to find an optimized assessment model and the best nutrition support patterns.
Detailed Description
All nasopharyngeal patients received radical treatment including neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. At the beginning, the investigators assign patient to experimental and control groups randomly. Patients in experimental group received standard nutritional support by adding NUTRISON. Control patients will give conventional nutritional guidance. The investigators collected all the nutritional indexed at first visit, before and after radiotherapy, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after radiotherapy. All these data will be set into statistical software to produce an optimized model for clinical practice.

Dietary Supplement
Intervention Name(s)
Nutrison
Intervention Description
Nutrison(400-600ml/d) will be given to Arm 1 patient between regular diet. When the daily ration was cut down to 50%,100ml/h Nutrison was added. When grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ oral mucositis appeared, total Nutrison was applied to patients by NG or PEG.
