(P072) Prospective Validation of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Clinically Applicable Monitoring of Body Composition in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated With Radiotherapy

Weight loss is common in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) both prior to and during radiotherapy. Recent data indicate that low lean mass is more predictive of poor outcomes than weight loss. The objective of this study is to validate the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for in-clinic measurement of body composition in HNC patients during radiotherapy.
