Long-term voice and swallowing outcomes for oral and oropharyngeal cancer following primary or adjuvant chemoradiation

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology Apr 27, 2019

Soldatova L, et al. - In this study, authors examined the long-term voice and swallowing consequences for oral and oropharyngeal cancer after primary or adjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) in 28 participants. The candidates reported the following voice and swallowing dysfunction: 39% of the Voice Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) scores in categories of fair, poor, or worst possible and 32% of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10) scores ≥20 or greater than 50% of the maximum; 39% of the Patient Perception of Swallowing Function Questionnaire (PPSFQ) scores higher than 50% of the maximum and 32% of the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) scores ≥20 or 50% of the maximum. They also found a relationship between V-RQOL and VHI-10 scores, PPSFQ, and EAT-10 scores, as well as between V-RQOL and PPSFQ/EAT-10 scores, VHI-10 and PPSFQ/EAT-10 scores. Persistence or worsening of perceived voice and swallowing dysfunction after CRT for nonlaryngeal HNC was hinted beyond 5 years.
