First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested a French version of a swallowing questionnaire for people who had their throat and voice box removed due to cancer. Researchers wanted to see if the translated survey works well for French-speaking patients. The study involved 225 adults who could read and write French. This is not a treatment trial but a step toward better measuring patient recovery.
