About this title

Synopsis

Cancer and its treatments typically have multiple and devastating effects on swallowing, speech, voice, language, respiratory and hearing systems. The successful management and rehabilitation of this challenging and high-risk patient population requires team-based collaboration and clinical expertise.

It is the first text to discuss completely and thoroughly the causes and treatment of dysphagia in persons with head and neck cancer, emphasizing the absolute need for successful team management.
