Abstract
This study used objectively timed swallowing tests, an interdisciplinary swallowing therapy protocol, and a swallowing questionnaire to evaluate the effects of swallowing training. We found that implementation of swallowing education and exercises improved dysphagia and QOL in cancer patients following tongue resection and rehabilitation. Furthermore, this study indicated that swallowing safety and dysphagia training for nursing professionals is effective.
