Investigators at the University of Calgary and Tom Baker Cancer Centre are presently recruiting for a trial to determine the effects of a combined nutrition and physical activity regimen on head and neck cancer patients. The primary outcome of the study is to observe changes from baseline in body composition, as patients afficted with this type of cancer often experience severe weight loss. Investigators believe that patients introduced to the exercise and nutrition intervention at the start of treatment will experience "improved symptom management and decreased lean body composition changes, directly improving recovery and QoL (quality of life)."
