Oncologic treatments, such as curative radiotherapy and chemoradiation, for head and neck
cancer can cause long-term swallowing impairments (dysphagia) that negatively impact …

Dysphagia is commonly seen in patients undergoing radiation-based therapy for locally
advanced squamous carcinoma of the head and neck. Within 4 to 5 weeks of starting …

Background Swallowing dysfunction following chemoradiation for head and neck cancer is a
major cause of morbidity and reduced quality of life. This review discusses 3 strategies that …

BACKGROUND: Changing trends in head and neck cancer (HNC) merit an understanding
of the late effects of therapy, but few studies examine dysphagia beyond 2 years of …

Objectives To identify patterns of long-term, radiation-induced swallowing dysfunction after
definitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy (RT or CHRT) and to determine which …

Safe, successful swallowing depends on complex events affected by head and neck cancers
and their treatment. This article reviews the swallowing process, how it is affected by …

In head and neck cancer (HNC) scenario, newer radiotherapy (RT) techniques, such as
intensity modulated RT (IMRT), aim to reduce acute and late toxicity without impair tumor …

INTRODUCTION: Recently, we found that swallowing dysfunction after curative (chemo)
radiation (CH) RT has a strong negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) …

Emerging research suggests that preventative swallowing rehabilitation, undertaken before
or during (chemo) radiotherapy ([C] RT), can significantly improve early swallowing …

Traditionally, surgery and/or radiotherapy (RT) alone has been used to treat head-and-neck
cancer. During the past decade, various RT fractionation schedules or a combination of RT …
