- Conditions
- Treatment of advanced Head and Neck Cancer with CRT has a negative impact on physical functioning, body composition, fatigue and health related quality of life (HRQoL). Unintentional weight loss, of which a large percentage is lean body mass, often occurs despite intensive nutritional support. Besides dietary interventions, physical exercise is a prerequisite for maintaining and rebuilding muscle mass.
