Abstract: Inductive chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy have been a focus on the clinical research in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Cisplatin, as a kind of representative platinum drug, can improve the curative effect, but it also brings a lot of side effects to nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. The new kind of platinum drugnedaplatin,can not only guarantee the curative effect but also reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
