Brief summary

This is an prospective,open-label, none-interventional, observational, multicenter phase II clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation therapy(CCRT) on nutritional status in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients, analyse the changes of patients' nutrition status during the treatment and the connection between nutrition changes and curative effects, evaluate nutritional risks under the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT and provide data and basis for further study。

Interventions

NC:cisplatin 75 mg/m2 intravenous infusion in day1,docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenous infusion in day1,both drugs are given every 3 weeks, two courses. CCRT: intensity modulation radiation therapy(IMRT) and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1) every three weeks for three\\three cycles during radiation therapy(RT). Dietary supplement: enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition
