Rebuilding communication after head and neck cancer treatment

Speech therapy for adults is often necessary after treatment for head and neck cancer. Despite the lifesaving nature of these interventions, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can leave long-term and permanent side effects that alter normal speech, voice, and swallowing patterns. Changes to the mouth, throat, vocal cords, and surrounding muscles can make it hard to communicate verbally on a day-to-day basis. They can affect confidence, independence, and quality of life.
