Study Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies the effects of a low carbohydrate diet on tumor metabolism in patients with head and neck cancer. A low carbohydrate diet may reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissues. Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with head and neck cancer in the laboratory before and after a low carbohydrate diet may help determine any changes in tumor metabolism.
Primary Outcome
IHC status will be classified as positive or negative pre-and post-treatment. Change in IHC status will be evaluated using McNemar's test for paired dichotomous data.
