Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between swallow‐specific quality of life (QOL) using the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) and the swallowing function using a standardized fiber‐optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) protocol in patients with dysphagia with head and neck cancer.
