Summary

This study tests whether a personalized 12-week speech, swallowing, and voice rehabilitation program can help preserve swallowing function in head and neck cancer patients after minimally invasive robotic surgery. About 53 participants will be enrolled, including those having surgery for a first tumor, a recurrent tumor, or to improve swallowing after prior treatment. The program involves daily exercises with a therapist and at home, with regular check-ups over two years.
