Abstract
El cáncer de cabeza y cuello es una patología prevalente a nivel mundial. Su abordaje consiste, en buena parte de los casos, de quimiorradioterapia, la cual, dentro de sus múltiples consecuencias, compromete la anatomía y el funcionamiento de órganos relacionadas a la deglución, generando disfagia orofaríngea. En ese sentido, el manejo fonoaudiológico predominantemente se lleva a cabo con ejercicios implementados posterior a la manifestación de la disfagia, con creciente interés sobre el manejo profiláctico del cuadro, existiendo variados estudios sobre la utilidad de ejercicios y maniobras relacionadas. En consecuencia, el objetivo de la presente revisión es presentar recursos terapéuticos basados en evidencia de calidad para el manejo proactivo de esta alteración, orientando la decisión clínica sobre su uso.
Head and neck cancer is a worldwide prevalent pathology. Its approach consists, in most cases, on chemoradiotherapy. Within its multiple consequences, compromises anatomy and functioning of structures related to swallowing, generating oropharyngeal dysphagia. In this context, Speech and Language Pathologist management is predominantly carried out with exercises implemented after the manifestation of dysphagia, existing increasing interest in prophylactic management of the condition, with several studies on the usefulness of exercises and related available maneuvers. Consequently, the objective of the present review is to present therapeutic resources based on good quality evidence for the proactive management of this alteration, guiding the clinical decision on its use.
