Long-Term Dietary Impact of Oropharyngeal Cancer and Dysphagia.
Project Overview
This project examines how dietary quality relates to dysphagia among oropharyngeal cancer survivors by following veteran and non-veteran patient cohorts over time and conducting supplemental cross-sectional analyses. The findings will inform the development of behavioral health interventions aimed at improving quality of life and survivorship outcomes for individuals with OPC.
