Some structures, including the lips, tongue, jaw, pharynx (back of the neck), larynx (voice box), and oesophagus (the muscular tube leading to your stomach), are crucial. However, some medical diseases have an impact on these structures, leading to communication and/or swallowing issues (dysphagia). The Center for Communication and Swallowing Disorders’ speech-language pathologists are specialists in treating a wide range of conditions, including:
- Many causes of swallowing issues, including head and neck cancer
- communication issues in connection with cancer procedures
