Background This prospective study evaluated swallowing outcomes prechemoradiotherapy
(pre‐CRT) up to 1 year post‐CRT, in a substantial cohort of patients with head and neck …

Objectives To compare effects of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with those of
conventional radiotherapy on quality of life (QoL) and severity of xerostomia in patients with …

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of (preventive) rehabilitation on swallowing
and mouth opening after concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Forty-nine patients with …

Objectives Assessment of long term (10-years+) swallowing function, mouth opening, and
quality of life (QoL) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with chemo …

PURPOSE: To determine whether prevention of hyposalivation after curative radiotherapy
(RT) to the head and neck improves patients' quality of life (QOL). METHODS AND …

Objectives: Swallowing can be significantly affected during and following radiotherapy for
head and neck cancer (HNC). The purpose of this study was to understand:(1) the trajectory …

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 …

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

PURPOSE: Dysphagia is a debilitating complication in head and neck cancer patients
(HNCPs) that may cause a high mortality rate for aspiration pneumonia. The aims of this …

Purpose: To determine the relationship between quality of life (QOL) and xerostomia over
time for patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for head-and-neck cancer in a prospective …
