Prehabilitation for Head and Neck Cancer Patients
This study is looking into a "prehabilitation" program for people with head and neck cancer. Prehabilitation means you would receive nutritional counseling and join exercise programs before and during your radiation or chemoradiation treatments. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders people from participating in these programs. Researchers will measure how easy it is for participants to engage, attend scheduled visits, and how satisfied they feel with the program. This study is open to people aged 18 to 80 who have non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The current recruitment status is unclear.
