Eat and Exercise During Radiotherapy or Chemoradiotherapy for Pharyngeal Cancers

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The data indicate independent, positive associations of maintenance of oral intake throughout RT or CRT and swallowing exercise adherence with long-term swallowing outcomes. Patients who either eat or exercise fare better than those who do neither. Patients who both eat and exercise have the highest rate of return to a regular diet and shortest duration of gastrostomy dependence.
