Associations Between Diet Quality and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Newly Diagnosed Head and Neck Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a class of heterogenous cancers involving the upper aerodigestive tract. We previously demonstrated the utility of a priori diet quality indices for predicting survival after an HNSCC diagnosis. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the role of those a priori diet quality indices and proinflammatory cytokines in newly diagnosed HNSCC survivors.

Methods

We analyzed cross-sectional data from a sample (n = 146; mean age 59.6 y; 79.3% male) from the University of Michigan Head and Neck Specialized Program of Research Excellence prospective longitudinal cohort study. Dietary intake was measured at pretreatment using a food frequency questionnaire. Serum samples were also collected at pretreatment.
