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 …

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 …

In head and neck cancer (HNC) scenario, newer radiotherapy (RT) techniques, such as
intensity modulated RT (IMRT), aim to reduce acute and late toxicity without impair tumor …

INTRODUCTION: Recently, we found that swallowing dysfunction after curative (chemo)
radiation (CH) RT has a strong negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) …

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 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this large multicentre prospective cohort
study was to identify which dose volume histogram parameters and pre-treatment factors are …

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 …

PURPOSE: Assess dosimetric correlates of long-term dysphagia after chemo-intensity-
modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) sparing parts of the …

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

Purpose Our primary aim was to prospectively validate retrospective dose–response models
of chronic radiation-associated dysphagia (RAD) after intensity modulated radiotherapy …
