Rethinking nutrition management in OSCC care: Beyond tube feeding

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: • Tube feeding in OSCC is essential but has limitations, including complications and long-term challenges like muscle atrophy and reduced sensory experiences. • A holistic nutrition approach should include targeted nutrients and consider the psychological and social aspects of eating. • Educating patients on nutrition's role in treatment and integrating psychosocial support is crucial for improving overall well-being. • Future innovations, like personalized diets and tech-driven care, promise better outcomes and quality of life for OSCC patients.
