Head and Neck Cancer
Lessons from Real‑World Head and Neck Cancer Nutrition Care
In this video, Speaker: the Dietitian brings nutrition support to life through two contrasting head and neck cancer case studies. Rather than focusing only on guidelines, the session follows real patients through surgery, chemoradiotherapy, severe treatment side effects, weight loss, dysphagia, and recovery. Through these cases, the discussion highlights how timely nutrition intervention can influence treatment tolerance, hydration, recovery, and overall patient burden throughout the cancer journey.
