3. Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are undergoing radiotherapy should pay attention to reasonably adjusting their diet. The continuously growing cancer cells consume a large amount of nutrients. In addition, the radiation damage to the oral mucosal salivary glands after radiotherapy, as well as nausea, vomiting, and abnormal taste, will affect appetite and, in severe cases, lead to nutritional metabolic disorders.

We should eat more protein with high nutritional value, complete essential amino acids, and good compatibility ratios, such as eggs, milk, fish, and lean animal meat, and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, soybeans and their products, peanuts, mushrooms, tomatoes, citrus, etc. Quit smoking, drinking, and spicy food, do not eat smoked, fried, grilled, or pickled vegetables, consciously change bad lifestyles and bad habits, overcome various discomforts, insist on eating, and ensure that radiotherapy is completed as planned.
