Speech Deficits Associated with Oral and Oropharyngeal Carcinomas

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Clinical Care and Rehabilitation in Head and Neck Cancer

Abstract

This chapter begins with a summary of head and neck cancer treatment and its impact on speech function. The reader is introduced to various assessment modalities and tools. These include subjective ratings, clinician-driven and patient-driven assessments, as well as population-based perceptions of speech. The chapter covers speech outcomes following surgery and chemoradiation and concludes with current tools available to address speech function.
