This Months Webinar Topic: The Impact of Radiation Therapy on Swallowing

Radiation can have a detrimental affect on the muscles used in the process of swallowing. Tissue scarring may cause fibrosis which affects tightness of the jaw, production of salivary glands, muscles involved in swallowing, and narrowing of the esophagus. Join Zoe Chang in a discussion of these issues and her experience using treatments to manage them. 

Speaker: Zoe Chang, M.S., SLP-CFY
