Abstract

Vamin Salong*

Nutritional support and intervention are essential aspects of managing head and neck cancer. Many patients with this condition are malnourished upon diagnosis, and most of those undergoing treatment will require nutritional assistance. This paper offers a concise summary of key nutritional considerations for these patients and offers practical recommendations for clinicians in their care. Due to the potential impact of head and neck cancers on swallowing and eating, early nutritional assessment is critical. This evaluation typically includes an assessment of the patient's weight history, dietary intake, and physical examination.
