DOI: 10.1007/s00405-020-06384-y
Abstract: Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) formation and swallowing difficulties are common and troublesome complications following total laryngectomy (TL). Prior (chemo)radiotherapy ((C)RT) is thought to be a risk factor for these complications, but there is conflicting evidence as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00405-021-06861-y
Abstract: Patients with advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer are often treated with chemo-radiotherapy to avoid total laryngectomy. Subclinical swallowing disorders could be present in these patients even though patients do not complain of any symptoms. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/bjc.2017.258
Abstract: Background:Following chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) for human papilloma virus positive (HPV+) locally advanced head and neck cancer, patients frequently undergo unnecessary neck dissection (ND) and/or repeated biopsies for abnormal PET-CT, which causes significant morbidity. We assessed the… read more here.
