“…Sixteen studies with 17 articles examined the impact of swallowing interventions on dysphagia in HNC patients (total n = 892 patients, median = 48, range = 20-170). [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Interventions included swallowing exercises (12 studies); oral, facial, tongue, and/or jaw exercises ( 6), sensory stimulation (3), electrical stimulation (6), and/or biofeedback (1). Most studies based their primary outcome on scores derived from video fluoroscopy (59%, 10/17); fewer used clinician assessment (24%, 4/17) or patient-reported questionnaires (18%, 3/17) (Supplementary Digital Content_Appendix II: Studies by rehabilitation intervention, http://links.lww.com/PHM/C281).…”

Objective The aim of the study is to identify and appraise current evidence for rehabilitation interventions in head and neck cancer. Design A previously published scoping review spanning 1990 through April 2017 was updated through January 11, 2023 and narrowed to include only interventional studies (Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2019;100(12):2381–2388). Included studies had a majority head and neck cancer population and rehabilitation-specific interventions. Pairs of authors extracted data and evaluated study quality using the PEDro tool. Results were organized by intervention type. Results Of 1338 unique citations, 83 studies with 87 citations met inclusion criteria. The median study sample size was 49 (range = 9–399). The most common interventions focused on swallow (16 studies), jaw (11), or both (6), followed by whole-body exercise (14) and voice (10). Most interventions took place in the outpatient setting (77) and were restorative in intent (65 articles). The overall study quality was fair (median PEDro score 5, range 0–8); none were of excellent quality (PEDro >9). Conclusions Most head and neck cancer rehabilitation interventions have focused on restorative swallow and jaw exercises and whole-body exercise to address dysphagia, trismus, and deconditioning. More high-quality evidence for head and neck cancer rehabilitation interventions that address a wider range of impairments and activity and social participation limitations during various cancer care phases is urgently needed to reduce head and neck cancer-associated morbidity.

“…Balbinot et al reported that speech therapy had a positive impact on swallowing quality of life in tongue cancer patients. 36 In assessing speech disorders, semispontaneous speech based on a picture description proved to be a better clinical measure than reading. 37 In the early rehabilitation phase, high-frequency speech therapy involving adaptation and compensation for new functional status after surgery could significantly improve objective speech intelligibility in oral cancer patients.…”

Purpose: The present study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness and safety of iodine-125 interstitial brachytherapy for treatment of primary locally advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the base of tongue (BOT).Material and methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of data of 19 patients with ACC, who were treated with iodine-125 interstitial brachytherapy between March 2008 and April 2018. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), local control (LC), and radiation-related toxicities were determined. Factors affecting the outcomes were evaluated.Results: Six males and 13 females were included in our study, with a median follow-up time of 35 months. 3-and 5-year OS rates were 71.5% and 47.6%, respectively. 3-and 5-year LC rates were 88.5% and 34.5%, respectively. 3-and 5-year DFS rates were 54.7% and 21.9%, respectively. A significant difference was observed in patients with or without brain metastases for OS rate. No severe acute toxicity was observed, while severe late toxicity was observed in one patient.Conclusions: The results suggest that iodine-125 interstitial brachytherapy is an effective and safe option for the treatment of primary locally advanced ACC of the base of the tongue, with reasonably satisfactory LC and OS.
