III Concurrent clinical trials have found that concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy can significantly improve the local control rate of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, significantly delay or prevent distant metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and have a definite therapeutic effect in improving survival rate.

However, its toxicity cannot be ignored, especially for patients after induction chemotherapy, who cannot tolerate strong toxic side effects. It is recommended that Chinese medicine be combined with induction chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity, which has a good synergistic effect on the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
