“It's the Exact Same Treatment … Except Only 5 Min Away”: A RE‐AIM Evaluation of a Speech‐Language Pathology Shared‐Care Model for Rural Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Challenges accessing post‐treatment speech‐language pathology (SLP) services can add to treatment burden for rural patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate a shared‐care SLP service designed to support local SLP access for patients with HNC, using the RE‐AIM framework.

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

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.
