Abstract
Dysphagia is a known functional side effect of high dose radiation therapy in H&N cancer patients. Recent studies have reported that dysfunction of the pharyngeal constrictors (PC), upper esophagus (UE), and glottic and supraglottic larynx (GSL) may be associated with dysphagia. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between patient reported dysphagia and radiation dose and volume to critical swallowing structures after IMRT for H&N cancer.
