Abstract

Rationale: Nutrition impact symptoms (NISs) tend to co-occur and are key factors of weight loss and worse quality of life (QoL) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) during radiotherapy (RT). However, there is limited evidence about NIS clusters and their predictive factor. Thus, this study aimed to explore crucial NIS clusters that related to weight loss rate (WLR) and QoL in patients with HNC receiving RT, and analyze their predictive factors.
