In an article published by CURE®, Jennifer Cargile, speech-language pathologist at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) Atlanta, shared her insight on the role of oncology rehabilitation in helping improve patient quality of life during head and neck cancer treatment.
“Head and neck cancer treatments and the subsequent side effects can be overwhelming for patients and their caregivers due to the impact they have on routine activities. However, there are trained therapists who can help manage these side effects so they are not debilitating, which can enhance overall quality of life throughout the cancer journey. I encourage all patients to speak with their physicians to find out if oncology rehabilitation therapies may benefit them.”
