Background
The objective of this study was to explore the 10‐year plus outcomes of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy with concomitant chemotherapy (CRT) combined with preventive swallowing rehabilitation (CRT+) for head and neck cancer (HNC).
Methods
Subjective and objective swallowing, trismus, and speech related outcomes were assessed at 10‐year plus after CRT+. Outcomes were compared to previously...
Background
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer. The effects on swallowing and speech need to be comprehensively evaluated to understand the associated morbidity.
Methods
A prospective cohort of 21 patients was recruited to undergo pre‐TORS and post‐TORS swallowing and communication assessment. Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation...
Background
Heterogeneity within studies examining transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) has made it challenging to make clear conclusions on functional outcomes. Infrequent use of instrumental swallow examinations compounds uncertainty surrounding the proposed functional advantage to TORS.
Methods
A prospective cohort of 49 patients underwent speech and swallowing assessment...
