Objectives/Hypothesis
To demonstrate utility of the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability‐Cancer (MASA‐C) to describe change in swallowing ability in a cohort of HNC patients from pre‐C/RT to post‐C/RT to follow up at 3 months post‐C/RT. An exploratory analysis compared patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) only to patients treated with chemoradiation (CRT).
Study Design
Prospective Cohort.

The aim of this study was to assess pharyngeal swallowing impairments in thyroidectomy patients and to delineate the contributory kinematic components. Forty consecutive patients (mean age = 47.33 years) and fourteen age- and sex-matched heathy adult volunteers (mean age = 42.64 years) participated in this study. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) was performed 1 day prior to surgery, and...
This study prospectively evaluated relationships between oral morbidities and swallowing ability in head/neck cancer patients following chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and at 3 months following CRT. Thirty patients with confirmed head/neck cancer undergoing chemoradiation were assessed with a battery of swallowing measures and measures of oral morbidities related to chemoradiation (xerostomia, mucositis,...
