Exercise training for head and neck cancer patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies if exercise training can improve outcomes for people with head and neck squamous cell cancer who need chemotherapy and radiation. It uses body scans to see if muscle changes from exercise are linked to better prognosis.
