DOI: 10.1111/coa.13416
Abstract: Approximately 75% of patients are recommended adjuvant oncological treatment after transoral surgery (TOS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy can result in significant long-term swallowing difficulties, which can negatively impact upon quality of… read more here.
