Summary

This study is testing whether adding the medication olanzapine to standard care helps head and neck cancer patients maintain their weight and appetite during intense chemoradiation treatment. About 66 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus daily olanzapine pills. The main goal is to see if olanzapine can prevent dangerous weight loss and improve patients' quality of life during this difficult treatment period.
