| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, firstly, we investigated the changes of energy metabolism by measuring the resting energy expenditure and respiratory quotient in patients with head and neck cancer. Secondly, we considered the association between the changes of body weight and intake of nutrition during chemo-radiotherapy. As a result, the resting energy expenditure was higher in patients with cancer than in healthy population. The resting energy expenditure was higher and respiratory quotient was lower in patients with cachexia than in non-cachexia. Furthermore, it was suggested that weight loss of cachexia patients might be suppressed the same extent as non-cachexia patients if they took more energy and protein during treatment.
