Abstract

One of the most common complaints in postchemoradiation head and neck cancer survivors is dysphagia. Careful assessment of swallow function is a crucial step in maximizing a patient’s quality of life. Therefore, familiarity with the diagnostic tools for swallow evaluation and the treatment modalities available is essential to the treating clinician. In the following chapter, we highlight the key concepts in diagnosis and management of chemoradiation-induced dysphagia.
