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

The Natural History of Residual and Recurrent Disease in Advanced Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Residual and recurrent disease in advanced juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) demonstrate spontaneous involution, reduction in size, or long‐term stability following initial treatment in 95% of patients. In this systematic review of 131 patients with advanced JNA, only 2% of patients demonstrated disease progression during surveillance, but ...
