The Battle to Eat and the Power of Healthy Nutrition Nutrition 26. 10. 2021 The difficulty to maintain good nutrition or "malnutrition" can cause adverse effects in patients with head, neck and oral cancer, such as treatment interruptions, delays, hospital admissions and reduced treatment success. A study in Australia describes the high nutritional burden of patients with head, neck and oral cancer. Some patients report difficulty eating during treatment as "the battle to eat" including sore mouth, difficulty eating, numbness, taste problems and dry mouth. These patients need special instructions and care to prevent and / or treat poor nutrition.
