A Discharge Summary Prompt Reduces Postoperative Radiotherapy Delay in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Delays in postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) beyond 6 weeks are associated with worse outcomes in head and neck cancer (HNC). This study evaluated whether a discharge summary prompt could reduce PORT delay. Methods A retrospective review of patients from 2018 to 2023 was used as a pre‐intervention baseline.

Exploring the Effects of Frailty and Sarcopenia on Dysphagia in Head and Neck Cancer: A Scoping Review

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Frailty and sarcopenia may influence head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment outcomes, including dysphagia. Current understanding of this relationship, however, remains limited. This scoping review aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the relationship between frailty and/or sarcopenia and dysphagia in adults with HNC.
