Abstract: Esophageal cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor. Nowadays, radiotherapy is the main treatment for esophageal cancer. Based on the above background, the role of nursing intervention in the evaluation of the efficacy of patients with esophageal cancer radiotherapy was proposed. Firstly, the concept of nursing intervention is summarized. Secondly, the methods of nursing intervention are introduced, which are mainly divided into three aspects: cognitive intervention, psychological intervention and behavioral intervention. Finally, the role of nursing intervention in the evaluation of the efficacy of esophageal cancer radiotherapy patients was studied and analyzed. It was found through experiments that nursing intervention can reduce the pain of patients with esophageal cancer radiotherapy and have a better quality of life.
