Abstract
The importance of nutrition and the prognostic impact of malnutrition in patients with head and neck cancer are not fully appreciated in the surgical world where a pervasive attitude exists that weight loss during treatment is inevitable and nutritional expertise or intervention may be dismissed out of ignorance. In this article, the authors explore the nutritional requirements of these patients and the impact of a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach to head, neck, and skull base cancer care.
