Abstract

Purpose

In this study, we aimed to estimate the frequency of deglutition disorders in patients pre- and post-treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC).

Methods

Search strategies were developed for the following databases: LILACS, PubMed, SpeechBITE, LIVIVO, Web of Science, and Scopus. Additionally, the gray literature was searched using Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and ProQuest. Only studies that conducted an evaluation of deglutition before and after cancer treatment and had sufficient quantitative data were included. We conducted a proportion of random effects meta-analysis using R statistical software.

Results

Seventeen studies were included. Aspiration showed a high frequency in the period less than 3 months post-treatment, with 28.6% (total sample = 229). Penetration of fluids above the vocal folds and reduced laryngeal elevation were more frequent in the period less than 6 months post-treatment.

Conclusion

The frequency of deglutition disorders and its complications, such as aspiration, appears to be higher in the immediate to 6-month post-treatment period in patients with HNC. The parameter pharyngeal residue continued to increase through the period analyzed.
