Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy, it is important to have a hematological profile examination to see hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels, the incidence of infection that has an effect on leukocyte levels and the risk of bleeding arising from a decrease in platelet levels. hematopoietic system. This study is a descriptive study using data from medical records of nasopharyngeal cancer patients at the NTB Provincial Hospital for the period January 2019 to December 2020. The data collected included patient identity, diagnosis, hemoglobin levels, erythrocyte index, leukocytes and platelets. Nasopharyngeal cancer is established through anamnesis, physical examination, histopathology and radiological investigations. Routine hematological examination is important in NPC patients to determine the presence of hematological abnormalities. Generally, the higher the NPC stage, the more complete the haematological abnormality will be. The incidence of anemia is related to the continuation of therapy and the patient’s quality of life. Leukocytosis is associated with the more progressive cancer; this leukocytosis will also increase platelet cells and cancer cells themselves. Thrombocytosis can be associated with advanced stage or metastases and a poor prognosis in NPC. Leukopenia can cause a decrease in the immune system so that patients are susceptible to infections, both bacterial and viral. Thrombocytopenia can increase the risk of bleeding.
