Summary

This study looks at whether eating more fiber can help head and neck cancer patients avoid muscle loss (sarcopenia). Researchers will track 59 adults from diagnosis for six months, measuring their fiber intake, muscle mass, and inflammation. The goal is to understand the link between diet and muscle health during cancer treatment.
