Sequlae of radiation therapy may be late in occurring and varied in their manifestations. Although some are untreatable and progressive, the risk of development of some other sequelae can be minimized by careful application of radiotherapy or by ancillary measures, such as dental decay prophylaxis. Some of the serious sequelae secondary to radiation therapy of the nasopharynx have been summarized. These include radiation myelitis, paralysis of the cranial nerves, stricture of the pharynx, radiation-induced cancer, and necrosis with fatal hemorrhage.
放射治疗的后遗症可能出现较晚且表现多样。尽管有些后遗症无法治疗且呈进行性发展，但通过谨慎应用放射治疗或采取辅助措施，如预防龋齿，可将其他一些后遗症的发生风险降至最低。本文总结了鼻咽癌放射治疗继发的一些严重后遗症。这些后遗症包括放射性脊髓炎、颅神经麻痹、咽部狭窄、放射性癌症以及伴有致命出血的坏死。
