Clinical Trial Summary

This study will present an advanced equipment of tumor nutrition diagnosis and assesment for nasopharyngeal cancer(NPC) radiotherapy patients in nutritional risk screening, evaluation, diagnosis and directing nutritional intervention, aiming to explore the advantages of the whole nutritional management in acute radiation reaction rate, completion rate of radiotherapy, nutritional status, and quality of life for NPC patients.

Description:

In this study, nutrition intervention was performed in one group of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with no nutritional risk during the periperiod of radiotherapy , and the other group with no additional intervention when without nutritional risks, for evaluating the value of overall nutritional management in the periperiod radiotherapy.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Carcinoma
• Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
• Nutrition Disorders

Intervention

Dietary Supplement:
• Formula nutrition
The target energy of radiotherapy patients is recommended to be 25-30kcal/(kg·d), and the target energy of the intervention group should be increased by an additional 50% daily from the beginning of radiotherapy. Specifically, under the condition of ensuring the daily target energy 14kcal/(kg·d), formula nutrition should be added daily.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of acute radiation reactions	This study mainly includes oral mucosa mucositis, salivary glands injury induced by radiotherapy, laryngoesophageal mucositis referring to The 2020 Expert Consensus on the Standardized Management of Radiation Oncology for nutrition-related radiation injury responses.	12 months
Secondary	Incidence of decline in nutritional status	analysis by the clinical nutrition detection analyzer	12 months
Secondary	Incidence of decline in quality of life scores(QOL)	It is measured by a standard QOL table,including 12 questions.Each question is 5 points,so there are 60 points and 5 grades(51-60 points, 41-50 points, 31-40 points, 21-30 points,<20 points).A higher score is a better life.	12 months
Secondary	Self-rating Anxiety screening Scale(GAD-7)	A GAD-7 table would estimate one's anxiety according to the emotion of the past two weeks,including 9 questions and 27 points totally.There are 4 grades of anxiety, a LOWER score means a normal mind state. Actually,0-4 points is/are no anxiety.5-9 points represent slight anxiety .10-14 are in moderate anxiety.15-27 are severe anxiety,respectively.	12 months
Secondary	Self-rating Scale for Depression Screening (PHQ-9)	A PHQ-9 table is a simplified Scale for Depression Screening,it would estimate one's depression emotion according to the mind of the past two weeks,including 9 questions and 27 points totally.There are 4 grades of depression, a LOWER score is equal to a GOOD mind.Actually,0-4 points is/are no depression.5-9 are depressed but not obvious.10-14 are in obvious depression.15-27 are severe depression,respectively.	12 months
