title: [Nutrition therapy in patients with head and neck neoplasms].
abstract: The authors report the results of an open study carried out on 23 patients with head-neck neoplasia in order to test whether rational nutritional treatment can improve weight and clinical state. The data obtained would indicate that patients with nutritional intake higher than 26 kcal/kg of body weight underwent increase in body weight. The authors conclude that neoplastic patients, and in particular subjects affected by head-neck or cervico-facial neoplasia, need suitable nutritional intake.
