Abstract

Head and neack cancer have increased. The chemoradiotherapy treatment is effective for the cancer managment. However, there are consequences such as dysphagia. To estimate the prevalence of patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia secondary to head and neck cancer treated in a fourth level institution in Bogotá - Colombia, and to describe the patient profile with head and neck cancer that presents oropharyngeal dysphagia within this institution. A retrospective cross-sectional study of prevalence in oropharyngeal dysphagia was reported in the external query service of a fourth-level institution specialized in cancer care. The reported medical charts were took from august to october of 2016 were patients older than 3 years and with a subjective diagnosis of oropharyngeal dysphagia according to the Oral Intake Scale Funtional Oral scale (FOIS) were included. 56 patients were identified, 36 of whom had oropharyngeal dysphagia according to the clinical evaluation. The average age was 57.1 years of which 58.3% were women. These patients, through their cancer process, received different medical treatments in different combinations. Eight patients achieved rehabilitation of dysphagia. There was no statistical correlation between the variables sex and type of cancer by means of the χ² test (P <0.014). It is concluded that dysphagia is a significant effect secondary to the treatment of head and neck cancer with a prevalence of 64.28% in the sample most frequently selected in women. The successful recovery of dysphagia does not depend on independent factors of age and sex, showing more influence of the modality of cancer treatment
