Summary

This study follows 57 head and neck cancer patients during radiotherapy to monitor their nutritional health. Researchers regularly check body composition, muscle strength, food intake, and quality of life using simple tests and questionnaires. The goal is to spot early signs of malnutrition so doctors can step in quickly and help patients feel better during treatment.
