The role of radiotherapy planning images in monitoring malnutrition and predicting prognosis in head and neck cancer patients: a pilot study
Cervical muscle volume measurement may help predict malnutrition in patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Our study shows adaptive planning images may be used for this approach. In addition, this method may help to predict prognosis due to malnutrition in patients undergoing radiotherapy.
