In addition to head & neck research studies, our archive highlights papers and book chapters. We cover topics like, the impact of treatments and rehabilitation on patients. Our lab focuses on developing treatments to improve the voice, speech, swallow functions and quality of life for patients. Surgery with or without radiation and chemoradiotherapy can cause changes to oral competence, speech, voice, resonance, swallowing, diet, salivary flow, sensation, taste, and quality of life. Thyroid, head and neck cancers present unique challenges. As part of our mission, we have devoted the past 15 years to helping patients and their families cope. We publish our research articles and treatment-friendly recipes. We also share links to organizations that help patients. In addition, we give physicians education and resources to improve treatment.
