Abstract:
Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are prone to nutritional risk, making timely screening and nutritional intervention crucial. Currently, there is no nutritional risk screening tool specifically tailored for HNC patients in clinical practice. Commonly used tools include the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) , the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) , and so on. Each tool has its strengths and limitations. This review summarizes the current application of nutritional risk screening tools in HNC patients, aiming to provide a reference for the identification and prevention of nutritional risk in clinical settings.
