First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether extra nutritional counseling helps head and neck cancer patients maintain their weight after surgery. 60 adults having surgery for head and neck cancer will be split into two groups: one gets standard care, the other gets extra support from a dietitian and other specialists before and after surgery. The main goal is to see if the extra support prevents weight loss six months later.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that extra nutritional counseling helps patients avoid weight loss after head and neck cancer surgery.
