| Abstract:: |
| Objective To evaluate the risk factors of nasosinusitis after radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods From January 1990 to December 2001, 153 NPC patients without nasosinusitis before radiotherapy were retrospectively analysed. Results Sixty-six patients suffered from nasosinusitis after radiotherapy.The rate of nasosinusitis in NPC patients with high T stage and nasal cavity infringement was higher than in others ( P=0.003, OR=1.983 and P=0.024, OR=2.353). Conclusions To reduce nasosinusitis after radiotherapy and improve patients quality of life, we suggest that nasopharyngeal cavity flush should be carried out during and after irradiation for NPC patients, especially for those with high T stage and nasal cavity infringement. |
