Abstract:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) mostly occurs in the southern region of China, among which Guangdong and Guangxi provinces are the most common areas. Radiotherapy is the first choice for NPC. After radiotherapy for advanced NPC, various complications often occur, such as swallowing difficulties, limited mouth opening, speech impairment, restricted neck movement, psychological disorders, etc, which will severely affect the life quality of the patients. Rehabilitation is an effective means to treat the complications of NPC after radiotherapy. It can control the development or delay the aggravation of complications and prevent the emergence of new complications. The pathogenesis of different complications after radiotherapy for NPC is different. It is necessary to carry out rehabilitation assessment and select different rehabilitation treatment. This paper reviews the pathogenesis, rehabilitation evaluation and treatment progress of common complications after NPC radiotherapy. It is expected to provide a theoretical basis for rehabilitation treatment of NPC complications after radiotherapy.
