EP 32: Dysphagia beyond head and neck cancer with Ciarán Kenny


Listen Later

Did you know that dysphagia can occur not only in people with head and neck cancer, but also in people with cancers outside the anatomical swallowing regions? This is an area that is often overlooked in clinical practice and is also an under-researched topic. To shed light on this important issue, we interviewed Prof. Ciarán Kenny from Trinity College Dublin. In his PhD research, Ciarán investigated the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and predictors of dysphagia in people with cancer outside the anatomical swallowing regions. Join us as we explore his findings and much more.

If you are interested in the recipe booklet you can contact Ciarán vial email. His email address can be found here.
