This study is looking at an exercise and nutritional prehabilitation program for people newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer. The program involves a two-week home-based exercise plan and nutritional goals, focusing on protein intake, before surgery. Researchers want to see if this program is practical, acceptable to patients, and safe. They will measure how many people complete the program, if it's safe, and if patients find it acceptable. The study is enrolling 20 participants aged 18 or older who have not had prior treatment for head and neck cancer. Your involvement would last about three months, from your first visit until one month after surgery.
