TL;DR: The American Cancer Society Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline was developed to assist primary care clinicians and other health practitioners with the care of head and neck cancer survivors, including monitoring for recurrence, screening for second primary cancers, assessment and management of long-term and late effects, health promotion, and care coordination as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Changing trends in head and neck cancer merit an understanding of the late effects of therapy, but few studies examine dysphagia beyond 2 years of treatment.

TL;DR: In the original version of the Data Descriptor the surname of author Hesham Elhalawani was misspelled and this has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions.

TL;DR: Independent, positive associations of maintenance of oral intake throughout RT or CRT and swallowing exercise adherence with long-term swallowing outcomes indicate patients who both eat and exercise have the highest rate of return to a regular diet and shortest duration of gastrostomy dependence.

TL;DR: The available evidence on the use of different therapeutic strategies to alleviate common late sequelae of RT in head and neck cancer patients is reviewed, with a focus on the critical assessment of the treatment options for xerostomia, dysphagia, mandibular osteoradionecrosis, trismus, and hearing loss.
