Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate post-operative and post-radiation upper esophageal sphincter opening measures in oral cancer patients, compare measures to age- and gender-matched healthy adults, and determine relationships with patient swallowing outcomes and quality of life.

Oral Cancer Patients

Videofluoroscopic imaging (VFSS) with high-resolution manometry (HRM)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Videofluoroscopic Imaging (VFSS) is done by inserting a small catheter into the nose and down the throat. The catheter is approximately .4 millimeters in diameter. A trained speech-language pathologist will insert the catheter after applying numbing medicine, or topical anesthetic, inside the nose.

The high-resolution manometry (HRM) is a swallowing pressure test done at the same time as the VFSS. The HRM will measure how strong the throat muscle squeeze the liquids and foods that a person swallows.

The VFSS and HRM will occur about one month after surgery and three months after the completion of the radiation treatment.
