ABSTRACT
This clinical case considers the complexities of management of dysphagia following treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC). In this chapter, we consider the side effects of radical treatments, including surgery and chemoradiotherapy (CRT), on the patient’s swallowing function and the management options available to clinicians. The chapter includes the perspective of a person coping with dysphagia after radical surgery and adjuvant CRT for HNC. This case also illustrates the complexity when multiple services are accessed.
