Impact of HMB Supplementation on Inflammation and Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancer
Impact of Beta Hydroxy Methyl Butyrate (HMB) Supplementation on Inflammatory Markers and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Head And Neck Cancer
Cancer patients undergoing surgery are at high risk of malnutrition due to the effects of the tumor and surgical stress, which can lead to worse clinical outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation on inflammatory markers and clinical outcomes in patients with malignant tumors of the upper airways and digestive tract undergoing surgery.
This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention (3 g/day of HMB) or control (3 g/day of maltodextrin) for 30 days prior to surgery. Initial assessments will include nutritional status, muscle strength, quadriceps muscle thickness by ultrasound, and laboratory tests. Postoperative clinical outcomes will be monitored through electronic medical records.

Experimental: HMB group
Participants in the intervention group will receive one sachet per day containing 3 g of β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate (HMB) for 30 days prior to surgery.
The supplementation is intended to support nutritional status, muscle mass preservation, and improve preoperative outcomes.

Placebo-Komparator: Control group
Participants in the control group will receive one sachet per day containing 3 g of maltodextrin (placebo) for 30 days prior to surgery.
The placebo is identical in appearance and dosage to the intervention supplement but does not contain the active ingredient.
