Dysphagia in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated with Chemoradiotherapy
Dysphagia, 08/31/09
Platteaux N et al. – Dysphagia is a very common complaint of head and neck cancer patients and can exist before, during, and after chemoradiotherapy. It leads to nutritional deficiency, weight loss, and prolonged unnatural feeding and also has a major potential risk for aspiration. This has a significant negative impact on the patient’s entire quality of life. Because treatment of dysphagia in this setting is rarely effective, prevention is paramount.
