Abstract
Head and neck cancer patients are a population at permanent nutritional risk. In addition to the presence of the tumour, the reason for this is the tumour's location, which affects all structures involved in the swallowing process. The side effects of the oncological treatments they must receive during the course of their illness-surgery, chemo-radiotherapy, etc.-only further burden an already precarious nutritional status. For all these reasons, it is essential that, from the diagnosis of their disease, a multidisciplinary team including specialists in dietetics and nutrition supervises them.
