Summary

This study follows 110 adults with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer to see how their nutrition and body composition change during standard cancer treatments. Researchers will measure food intake, muscle mass, and strength over time. The goal is to gather data that could later help create a special nutritional supplement to reduce side effects and improve treatment completion.

What this could lead to: If successful, this study could help design a special nutritional supplement to reduce side effects and improve treatment adherence for cancer patients.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly benefit participants. Results may not lead to a usable supplement.
