Objective:The aim of this study is toinvestigate the clinical effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with cetuximab in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Method:Seventy-eight cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were divided into control group(n=42) and treatment group(n=36).The control group was treated with radiotherapy and diamminedichloroplatinum;the treatment group was treated with radiotherapy and diamminedichloroplatinum combined with cetuximab.Short-term efficacy,survival time,and adverse reactions were documented during following up in both groups.Result:The efficiency in the treatment group (94.44%) was significantly higher than that in the control group(78.57%),P <0.05.There were no significant difference of adverse reaction including radiodermatitis,oral mucosa reaction,bone marrow inhibition,radiation induced brain injury between the two groups,P >0.05.The medium survival time of the treatment group(55 months) was significantly longer than that of the control group(48 months),P <0.05.4-year survival rate in treatment group(88.89%) was significantly higher than that in the control group(69.05%),P <0.05.4-year diseases free survival(DFS) rate in treatment group(75%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (59.52%),P <0.05.Conclusion:Radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with cetuximab can significantly improve the treatment efficiency in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma,while do not lead to higher rate of adverse reactions.This treatment is worth being promoted in clinical application.

D002945	Cisplatin	An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003131	Combined Modality Therapy	The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D000077274	Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma	A carcinoma that originates in the EPITHELIUM of the NASOPHARYNX and includes four subtypes: keratinizing squamous cell, non-keratinizing, basaloid squamous cell, and PAPILLARY ADENOCARCINOMA. It is most prevalent in Southeast Asian populations and is associated with EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS INFECTIONS. Somatic mutations associated with this cancer have been identified in NPCR, BAP1, UBAP1, ERBB2, ERBB3, MLL2, PIK3CA, KRAS, NRAS, and ARID1A genes.
