BACKGROUND
Chemoradiation of head and neck cancer induces severe dysphagia and malnutrition, which may lead to interruptions in therapy and reduction in its efficacy. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) feedings bypass the oropharynx, allowing administration of nutrients and medications into
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with different body mass indices (BMI, <25 vs ≥25) undergoing radiation treatment for head and neck cancer.
METHODS
HRQOL was examined by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer
Obesity has become pandemic and emerged as one of the most critical global health care problems worldwide since last century. Recent studies have demonstrated that there may be a causal link between obesity and higher risks and mortality of cancers, including prostate, breast, colon, and thyroid
OBJECTIVE
Previous studies examining the association of body mass index (BMI) with risk of and survival from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have been inconsistent, although an inverse association has been noted for obesity and risk of HNSCC in several studies. Previous studies have
Body mass index (BMI), sarcopenia, and obesity-related comorbidities have been associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) progression.We conducted a retrospective analysis of 441 normal-weight, overweight, and obese HNSCC patients treated OBJECTIVE
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has targeted deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE) as preventable "never events" and has discontinued reimbursement for these conditions following selected orthopedic procedures. We sought to determine the relationship
Considering the symptoms of (chemo) radiotherapy and the reduction in food intake in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, this study aimed to investigate the association between treatment time points and oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) on dietary intake to estimate the frequency of energy and
CONCLUSIONS
Comorbidities as well as T classification were the primary determinants for the nutritional status of patients with head and neck cancer.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to elucidate the underlying conditions of malnutrition in patients with head and neck cancer.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed
Background: Emerging evidence from cohort studies indicates that adiposity is associated with greater incidence of head and neck cancer. However, most studies have used self-reported anthropometry which is prone to error.Methods: Among 363,094 participants in the European Prospective Investigation
Recent evidence has suggested links between obesity and outcomes for various types of cancer. This study investigates the impact that body composition has on survival in patients with head and neck cancer.
Data prospectively collected from 578 patients were analyzed using Cox regression models to
Background: This study was performed to examine the association between adulthood recreational physical inactivity (PIA) and mortality among patients with cancers of the head and neck.
Methods:
OBJECTIVE
Most studies, primarily conducted in populations of European ancestry, reported increased risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) associated with leanness (body mass index [BMI] <18.5 kg/m(2)) and decreased for overweight or obesity (25.0 to <30.0 and >30 kg/m(2), respectively), compared with
To investigate potential associations between body mass index (BMI) and head and neck cancer (HNC) risk in an East Asian population.We conducted a hospital-based multicenter case-control study in East Asia including 921 cases and 806 controls. We estimated Predictive factors for toxicity and response to chemotherapy in patients with advanced head and neck cancer are seldom reported. Therefore, from a short series of patients with a histologically proven cancer, who were treated by a neo-adjuvant protocol with cisplatin and fluorouracil, routine
BACKGROUND
Head and neck cancer (HNC) risk is elevated among lean people and reduced among overweight or obese people in some studies; however, it is unknown whether these associations differ for certain subgroups or are influenced by residual confounding from the effects of alcohol and tobacco use
