Summary

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 2.8% of all malignancies. The presence of tumor itself, as well as the treatment, can result in neuromuscular damage affecting any stage of the swallowing. Organ-sparing care has become more common in recent years, however, that this does not always imply functional preservation. Dysphagia and aspiration both can occur and can have complex causes. Normal swallowing has oral preparatory phase, pharyngeal phase, and the oesophageal phase, it is important to know what is the dysfunction and where. This study aim to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative swallowing function in patients with head neck cancer using electromyography (EMG) and video fluoroscopy.
