  • Title: Nutritional assessment of the head and neck cancer patient.
    Author: Lambert MJ.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg (1979); 1980; 88(6):695-9. PubMed ID: 7208037.
    Abstract:
    Malnutrition is a common problem in patients with head and neck cancer. Its presence may lead to an increase in morbidity and mortality following an operation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. A standard nutritional assessment will define the nature and degree of the nutritional deficiency while periodic reassessment will document the effects of nutritional support.
