Dr. Hutcheson holds Board Certification in Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (BCS-S) with clinical expertise in head and neck cancer rehabilitation. Abstract: This session will present a contemporary evidence-based review of radiation-associated dysphagia (RAD). Dysphagia will be described along the continuum of cancer survivorship – from prevention through late effects. Published data will be reviewed from the clinician’s perspective. Topics will include preventive swallowing therapy (“eat” and “exercise”), assessment of RAD, neuromuscular electrical stimulation for RAD, late-RAD, and “boot camp” swallowing therapy. Learner Outcomes: As a result of this activity, the participant will be able to: 1) describe radiation delivery methods in modern practice; 2) distinguish differences in tumor and treatment that impact swallowing outcomes after radiation; 3) describe the pathophysiology of radiation-associated dysphagia; 4) describe evidence for preventive swallowing therapy after head and neck radiation; and 5) describe evidence for reactive swallowing therapy after head and neck radiation.
