Detecting the Changes of Swallowing Function in Oral Cancer Patients

Using High Resolution Impedance Manometry (HRIM) Combined With Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) to Investigate the Changes of Swallowing Function in Oral Cancer Patients

The evidence of swallowing changes in oral cancer patients is still limited. This study aimed to investigated the swallowing changes in these patients by using the videofluoroscopy (VFSS) and high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM).

Objective: to investigated the swallowing changes in oral cancer patients by using the videofluoroscopy (VFSS) and high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM).

Methods: 1. patients are fulfilled tongue cancer diagnosis; 2.they will undergo VFSS and HRIM examinations before or after surgery if they experience discomfort while swallowing.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients elective received oral cancer surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. patients had major underlying disease, ex: heart, brain, lung, liver disease
• 2. coagulopathy
• 3.pregnancy
• 4. the patients could not have good compliance
