TY  - CHAP
AB  - This clinical case considers the complexities of management of dysphagia following treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC). The chapter explores the side effects of radical treatments, including surgery and chemoradiotherapy (CRT), on the patient’s swallowing function and the management options available to clinicians. It includes the perspective of a person coping with dysphagia after radical surgery and adjuvant CRT for HNC. Surgery and/or CRT are the mainstay treatment for HNC. One of the most common and profound effects of HNC and its treatment are the acute and long-term difficulties with eating and drinking. The nature and severity of dysphagia for the HNC patient are both complex and have the potential to change over time, depending on the treatments received. Patients should be informed of the potential acute and longer-term risk for dysphagia and therefore be empowered to monitor symptoms, access support and play an active role in their rehabilitation.
