Summary
This study looked at whether three blood proteins (pre-albumin, retinol binding protein, and transferrin) can help detect early malnutrition in people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Researchers measured these proteins and tracked weight changes in 60 patients. The goal was to see if these markers could provide a simple, early warning of nutritional decline during treatment.
