Nurse support after radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether regular check-ins with a specially trained nurse can help patients who have finished radiation treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer feel better and manage their recovery. If you join, you will receive extra support and guidance from a nurse to help you cope with side effects and improve your quality of life.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving radiation only to the specific lymph nodes that need it works as well as standard radiation for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (three drugs: docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil) plus an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor, which helps your immune system fight cancer) given before the standard radiation treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this upfront treatment can improve outcomes in patients whose cancer has not spread to distant parts of the body.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a standard nutrition plan can improve nutritional status and outcomes in people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer who are malnourished. It mainly checks whether nutrition support helps you tolerate treatment and do better over time.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that adjusts in real-time to treat nasopharyngeal cancer. It is for people who have not received prior radiation and have no distant spread of cancer.
This trial compares two treatment options for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that did not respond well to initial chemotherapy. One option is to switch to a different chemotherapy regimen, the other is to go straight to radiation therapy. The study aims to see which approach is more effective in this situation.
This trial tests whether adding chemotherapy before the usual radiation and chemotherapy treatment can improve outcomes for people with a certain type of nasopharyngeal cancer that has higher risk features. It aims to see if the extra treatment helps control the cancer better.
