the nursing-mode of a nutritional assistant role. In the control group was treated with routine nursing-mode. All patients received
radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Then the nutrient intaking nutritional indexes the degree of anxiety and depression as well as
quality of life were compared between the two groups. Result The energies of the two groups were decreased while the indexes of
intervention group were better at other time points but there was no statistical significance P> 0. 05 . The proteins intakes of the
intervention group were better between two groups P<0. 05 . The HADS and KPS scores of the intervention group were better P<
0. 05 . The indexes of serum albumin and weight in the intervention group were better except CRP P< 0. 05 . Conclusion In the
