Changing trends in head and neck cancer (HNC) merit an understanding of late effects of therapy, but few studies examine dysphagia beyond 2 years of treatment. A case series was examined to describe the pathophysiology and outcomes in dysphagic HNC survivors referred for modified barium swallow (MBS) studies ≥5 years after definitive radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (01/2001–05/2011). Functional measures included the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), Performance Status Scale-Head and Neck (PSS-HN), Swallowing Safety Scale (NIH-SSS), and MBSImp. Twenty-nine patients previously treated with radiotherapy (38%) or chemoradiotherapy (62%) were included (median years post-treatment: 9, range: 5–19). The majority (86%) had oropharyngeal cancer; 52% were never smokers. Seventy-five percent had T2-T3 disease; 52% were N+. Median age at diagnosis was 55 (range: 38–72). Abnormal late examination findings included: dysarthria/dysphonia (76%), cranial neuropathy (48%), trismus (38%), and radionecrosis (10%). MBS studies confirmed pharyngeal residue and aspiration in all dysphagic cases owing to physiologic impairment (median PAS: 8; median NIH-SSS: 10; median MBSImp: 18) whereas stricture was confirmed endoscopically in 7 (24%). Twenty-five (86%) developed pneumonia, half requiring hospitalization. Swallow postures/strategies helped 69% of cases, but no patient achieved durable improvement across functional measures at last follow-up. Ultimately 19 (66%) were gastrostomy dependent. Although functional organ preservation is commonly achieved, severe dysphagia represents a challenging late effect that may develop or progress years after radiation-based therapy for HNC. These data suggest that novel approaches are needed to minimize and better address this complication that is commonly refractory to many standard dysphagia therapies.
