Evaluating predictive factors for determining enteral nutrition in patients receiving radical radiotherapy for head and neck cancer: a retrospective review
S Mangar, N Slevin, K Mais, A Sykes - Radiotherapy and oncology, 2006 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To identify objective pre-treatment clinical parameters that
could be used to predict for patients at high risk of requiring enteral tube feeding prior to
head and neck radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was
conducted on 160 consecutive patients attending for radiotherapy assessment. Regression
analysis was used to determine various pre-treatment nutritional and tumour specific
parameters associated with the use of enteral nutrition either before (prophylactic) or during …
