With a diagnosis of H&N cancer come multiple
challenges
• Understanding the disease
• Understanding its management
• Understanding the impending impact of the disease
itself and the therapies employed
• Navigating successfully through these changes
• Cure can seem worse than the disease

The Multiple Treatment Modalities of H&N
Cancer
•
•
Not only the disease, but, the very treatment
chosen can cause injury and dysfunction to
involved (and neighboring) tissue
The aerodigestive tract has a myriad of vital
functions not only for survival, but, also involving
QOL
Primary and collateral damage
•
The disease or its treatment can involve a
composite of tissue
• Tongue, teeth, salivary glands, the facial and
masticatory muscles, skin, jaws, oral mucosa,
taste buds
• This results in affected ability with eating,
speech, nonverbal communication,
infections, dental caries, limited mouth
opening, appearance
Primary and collateral damage
•
Understanding the ensuing potential
complications of disease or treatment is
important to be able to prepare for, or even
obviate, some of them
Interventions matter.
•
Pre-treatment evaluation and planning
•
Maintenance during cancer treatment
•
Management of post-treatment sequelae
Pre-treatment evaluation and planning
•
Referral to dentist
• Patient education
• effects on salivary glands
(xerostomia), risk of caries,
muscles (trismus)
• Patient Eval and Tx Planning
• hygiene instruction
• restorations
• extractions (14-day lead time to
rads)
• Fabrication of silicone guards

Pre-treatment evaluation and planning
•
Maintenance during cancer treatment
•
Management of post-treatment sequelae
Maintenance during cancer treatment
•
Most difficult time to maintain goal
• compromised ability during hospital stays
• compromised access to hygiene products during hospital stays
•
Problem-focused exams with DDS to address
problems early (not often practical)
•
Pre-treatment evaluation and planning
•
Maintenance during cancer treatment
•
Management of post-treatment sequelae
Management of Post-treatment Sequelae
•
Schedule recall visits with short recall at first (Q
4weeks, Q 3-4 months) with gradual
normalization
• Focus on education, hygiene, management of symptoms (fluoride,
sialogogues, physiotherapy, etc)
• Establishment of a new, acceptable "normal" oral health state
Summary
•
Not only the disease, but the treatment impacts
can be severe in H&N Ca
•
Patients with H&N Ca need intensive education
on orodental health considerations PRIOR TO
CANCER TREATMENT
•
Formal evaluation and treatment is critical to
limiting complications associated with treatment
for the patient with H&N Ca
