Nutritional Status of Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Sponsor: Marmara University
Summary
This study aims to monitor the nutritional status of patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy treatment. Throughout the treatment process, patients' body composition, handgrip strength, food intake, quality of life, and treatment-related side effects will be regularly assessed. Measurements will include physical parameters like body weight, height, and waist circumference, as well as blood test results and nutrition-related questionnaires. By closely tracking these changes, the study seeks to identify early signs of nutritional deterioration and support timely interventions. The goal is to better understand nutrition-related challenges during treatment and ultimately improve patients' quality of life.
