Dysphagia in head and neck cancer: A review

Roxana Moayer, Uttam K. Sinha

Abstract

Head and neck cancers are frequently associated with dysphagia. Both pre-treatment and post-treatment etiologies have been described in the literature. The result of dysphagia has been well-documented as causing reductions in both quality-of-life and physical well-being. The goal of this review is to consolidate the current understanding of the relationship between head and neck cancers and dysphagia.
