Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how well people can swallow before and after they received special radiation treatment for cancers in the throat area.
- 175 patients were tested to see if their swallowing ability changed 6 months after treatment, and many showed a drop in their ability to eat or drink normally.
- The results showed some improvements for a few, but many had trouble swallowing and some even developed jaw stiffness after the radiation.
