Abstract
|
|
|
|
Head and neck cancer patients are prone to dysphagia and aspiration, which are usually neglected due to treatment of the cancer itself. However, dysphagia and aspiration could cause malnutrition, dehydration, pneumonia, and moreover, have negative impact on the quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Due to its multifactorial etiology, thorough clinical and instrumental evaluation are necessary. In managing head and neck cancer patients, it has become very important to identify the possibility of dysphagia and aspiration, and to start management as early as possible.
