This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 2 nutritional assessment tools, the Nutritional Risk Screening Scale 2002 (NRS2002) and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), for evaluating the nutritional status of perioperative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, to facilitate early nutritional interventions and improve clinical outcomes. An observational, comparative study was conducted at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, recruiting patients diagnosed with HNSCC scheduled for surgical treatment. The NRS2002 and PG-SGA were applied to assess patients' nutritional risk at multiple time points: upon admission, the day before surgery, 2 days after surgery, a week after surgery, and at discharge.

This study investigates the prevalence of mobile health and behavior tracking (mHBT) among a large and diverse sample of cancer survivors in the United States focusing on different mHBT adoption based on socio-demographic factors. Data was drawn from the 2020 to 2021 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), which over-sampled cancer survivors from three cancer registries. Data analyses revealed that out of 1,234 cancer survivors studied, 39% had adopted mHBT, with 52% of these users engaging in daily tracking.
