Although advances in medical technology and therapeutic treatment have
greatly increased the survival rate of patients diagnosed with nasal and pharyngeal
cancer, patients receiving irradiation treatment experience adverse side effects, including
skin reaction, bone necrosis and hearing loss. Such irreversible reactions lower their
quality of living, accounting for the search for alternative methods to decrease patient
discomfort accompanied with radiation therapy.
Given the increasing number of patients receiving radiation therapy, which is
less discomforting than chemotherapy or surgery, adverse side effects of treating
patients diagnosed with nasal and pharyngeal cancer must be resolved. As is generally
assumed, skin reaction caused by treatment is irreversible because the radial destroys
the dermal cell and the hearing cell, explaining for the search of an effective means of
averting side effects irradiation treatments or patients of nasal and pharyngeal cancer.
For instance, the side effect of the skin reaction is generally assumed to
be irreversible because the radial destroys the dermal cell and the hearing cell,
necessitating the development of a method that can avoid the side effects incurred by
irradiation for the patient of N.P.C.
The inability to eliminate the adverse side effects of irradiation treatment
makes it impossible to improve the therapeutic outcome. Patient discomfort may cause
them to stop therapy or not adhere to the therapeutic schedule, explaining the urgency to
remedy this problem. Moreover, the ability to provide better care for the patient would not
only decrease the adverse side effects brought on by irradiation treatment, but also
increase the curative rate.

Based on the above, we should analyze causes of irreversible skin
reactions and how they vary during radiation therapy by performing an iodine-
starch staining test and accumulating statistics from a questionnaire survey.
To do so, two patient groups can be formed, i.e. a group of
100 patients having undergone therapeutic treatment previously and a control
group of 100 patients. The reaction caused by sweat and damaged skin can
then be analyzed by using the iodine-starch staining test. Next, statistical
results obtained from the two groups can reveal why such a reaction occurs
and varying degrees of the skin reaction.
As anticipated, analysis results can identify why skin reactions
occur, including skin erythema, dry desquamation, moist desquamation and
skin necrosis. Those results can provide a valuable reference for efforts to
reduce skin reaction caused by irradiation by 70%.
Results of this study can shed light on why skin reactions occur
during irradiation to decrease the potential harm to patients during radiation
therapy by designing an appropriate treatment schedule to yield a better
therapeutic outcome. In addition to decreasing the likelihood of skin reaction,
e.g., carbuncular, desquamating and ulcerations, caused by irradiation
treatment, this study contributes to efforts to avert hearing loss that leads to
both physiological and psychological effects.

Curcumin can inhibit the activation of cancer
cells in humans.
However, merely consuming plenty of natural
foods such as vegetables and fruits does not ensure a
concrete expression to circumvent the activation of cancer
cells.
For instance, the inability to consistently
consume 10M of curcumin will not prevent activation of
cancer cells.
The inability to consume adequate
amounts of curcumin to inhibit cancer cell growth makes it
impossible to ensure sustained growth.

Based on the above, we should develop a
determination method to identify various concentrations of
curcumin that would inhibit cancer cell growth, enabling us to
determine the most efficacious concentration.
To do so, carcinoma macrophage culture can
be made for high glucose and low glucose. The survival rate of
the MTT conversion cell can then be analyzed by adding
various concentrations of curcumin. Next, subequent MTT data
can provide evidence of O.D 550nm of ELISA.
As anticipated, analysis results can indicate that
various concentrations of curcumin can inhibit cancer cell
growth.
Results of this study can shed light on the potential
role of curcumin in decreasing the incidence of cancer.
