Sumario:This study aimed to investigate the risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients receiving conventional fractionation radiotherapy. A retrospective analysis of clinical data from 100 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radiotherapy was conducted. The Chi-square test was used to screen the relevant factors and Cox multiple-factor analysis was used to investigate the risk factors influencing the survival of patients. One-factor analysis results revealed that tumor stage, tumor diameter, prescription dose completion and radiotherapy regularity are related to the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and multiple-factor analysis results revealed that tumor stage, radiotherapy dose and radiotherapy regularity are independent risk factors influencing prognosis. The prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radiotherapy is related to tumor progression and an adequate dose of regular radiotherapy improves the prognosis of patients.
