The health risks of dysphagia for patients with head and neck cancer: a multicentre prospective observational study
Abstract It is well known that malnutrition is a frequent co-morbidity in cancer patients, especially in those with head and neck neoplasms. This may be due both to the presence of dysphagia symptoms and to the appearance of adverse effects on chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy. The aim of this retr...
