Prehabilitation for head and neck cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a prehabilitation program (exercise and nutrition support) to see if it helps patients with head and neck cancer who are about to start curative treatment. It aims to improve your strength and recovery before and during cancer therapy.
