Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to elucidate the transition patterns of sarcopenia and dynapenia indices from the period of chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy to 12 months after treatment in patients with head and neck cancer (oral cavity, mid-pharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx cancer) and to explore the relationship with nutrition management and social life factors.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

1) The number of cases of non-sarcopenia, pre-sarcopenia, dynapenia, and sarcopenia (before treatment, after treatment,)
2) Patients' difference (no sarcopenia, pre-sarcopenia, dynapenia, and sarcopenia) could respond to treatment,
3) Changes in sarcopenia and dynapenia indices during treatment. These changes are related to patient attributes, treatment course, symptoms, nutrition during treatment, rehabilitation, changes in activity level, and quality of life.
4) Changes in sarcopenia-dynapenia indices after treatment ends and relation with the patient's social background, social life, psychosocial factors, nutrition during treatment, rehabilitation, and changes in activity level.
5) The way the sarcopenia-dynapenia index changes during treatment is related to the way it changes after treatment ends.
(6) Finding out what causes the change (transition) in the sarcopenia-dynapenia index.
