Data have emerged that the addition of concurrent chemotherapy to radiation can lead to
swallowing dysfunction that may have an impact on patient quality of life and lead to …

PURPOSE: A systematic review to establish what evidence is available for swallowing
outcomes following IMRT for head and neck cancer. METHODS: Online electronic …

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 …

Purpose: To present initial results of a clinical trial of intensity-modulated radiotherapy
(IMRT) aiming to spare the swallowing structures whose dysfunction after chemoradiation is …

This study involved a systematized scoping review to coalesce current evidence on
dysphagia outcomes achieved through active sparing of the swallowing structures in …

Background Intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is hoped to protect structures
important for swallow function. We compared posttreatment swallow function in 7 pairs of …

Background Persistent dysphagia following primary chemoradiation (CRT) for head and
neck cancers can have a devastating impact on patients' quality of life. Single arm studies …

Background Dysphagia is a distressing symptom during and after radiotherapy treatment in
head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. The objective of this prospective study was to …
