Nutritional support in head and neck cancer: how and why?

abstract：:Leiomyosarcomas represent the most common variant of uterine sarcomas, and are also considered to be the least chemosensitive. To date, adriamycin and ifosfamide are believed to be the most effective drugs for its treatment, in addition to docetaxel and gemcitabine. Recently, the introduction of trabectedin has provid...
