Resource limitations affect the intensity of speech-language pathology (slp) dysphagia interventions for patients with head-and-neck cancer (hnc). The objective of the present study was to assess the feasibility of a prospective clinical trial that would evaluate the effects on health and patient costs of early slp dysphagia intervention for hnc patients planned for curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (ccrt).
