PURPOSE: Dysphagia is a major late complication of intensive chemoradiotherapy of head
and neck cancer. The initial clinical results of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), or …

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 …

PURPOSE: To identify the anatomic structures whose damage or malfunction cause late
dysphagia and aspiration after intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) for head-and …

PURPOSE: Intensification of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for head-and-neck cancer may
lead to increased rates of dysphagia. Dosimetric predictors of objective findings of long-term …

Background To evaluate the objective and subjective long term swallowing function, and to
relate dysphagia to the radiation dose delivered to the critical anatomical structures in head …

PURPOSE: To evaluate late dysphagia after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced head-
and-neck squamous cell carcinoma, and to examine its correlation with clinical and …

Background and purpose Many head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors experience
diminished quality of life due to radiation-induced dysphagia. The aim of this study was to …

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

PURPOSE: To evaluate early swallowing after intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head-
and-neck squamous cell carcinoma and determine factors correlating with aspiration and/or …

After radiation therapy (RT) or chemoradiation (CRT) therapy for head and neck cancer,
some patients develop significant swallowing problems. This complication is thought to be a …
