This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether nutrition counseling and exercise programs can help head and neck cancer patients prepare for and stay healthy during radiation or chemotherapy treatment. Researchers want to understand what support works best, what barriers patients face, and what preferences patients have when preparing for cancer treatment. The goal is to help improve how these support services are offered to patients like you.
Many head and neck cancer patients lose weight and become weak during treatment, which can affect their recovery and quality of life. This study exists to figure out the best ways to help patients stay nourished and physically active before and during treatment, so they can tolerate their cancer therapy better and heal more effectively.

You would attend nutrition counseling sessions and exercise programs before and during your radiation or chemotherapy treatment — the exact duration depends on your treatment schedule. You would also have three in-person study visits: one at the start, one when your treatment finishes, and one 8 weeks after treatment ends. Your total participation would last up to 18 weeks, and during this time researchers would ask you about your experience with the nutrition and exercise support to see if the program is helpful and acceptable to patients.
