CASES IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Provide an in-depth overview of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and its management. The sources detail the multidisciplinary treatment of various cancers affecting the head and neck, including those in the oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx, through numerous case studies. Information covers diagnostic procedures, such as staging (TNM criteria) and imaging (CT, PET), along with treatment modalities like surgery (including TORS and total laryngectomy), radiation therapy (IMRT), and chemotherapy. A significant focus is placed on the critical role of the speech-language pathologist (SLP) in assessing and rehabilitating speech and swallowing function, highlighting techniques like the Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) and various therapeutic maneuvers. The material also emphasizes communication options for post-surgical patients, such as the electrolarynx and tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP), and discusses topics like health literacy and the importance of patient compliance.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
