note effect of appropriate nutrition on head and neck cancer patients receiving

Detailed description:
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with more than half
a million new cases diagnosed each year . Because of the limitations imposed by the
complicated anatomical structure of the head and neck to the operation, radiotherapy (RT)
has become the main treatment method for HNC. However, damage to the normal tissue
surrounding the tumor is inevitable. The most common manifestations of injury caused by
RT are mucositis with the dry mouth, loss of taste, and dysphagia. The severe dysphagia
leads to a definitive total impossibility of eating through the mouth in 20-30% of
patients. Radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) is a common side effect after
radiotherapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. RIOM patients with severe pain
have difficulty in eating, which increases the incidence of malnutrition and affects
patients' quality of life and the process of RT.
