Late Dysphagia Following Radiotherapy After Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Case Series.

Our results identify specific swallowing impairments for this patient group highlighting possible latent RT effects on swallowing. This population would benefit from dysphagia rehabilitation and maintenance programs informed by multimodal diagnostic approaches. PMID: 31805250 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
