Brief Summary  

The study intends to see the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency and its impact on the treatment outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients.

As Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be associated with various cancers in the literature and there are studies to show the protective role of Vitamin D against cancers in view of its immunomodulatory action.

This study will determine whether such an association is present in our population of head and neck cancers. And if so, we can preemptively start treating Vitamin D deficiency in our patients.
