Objective.
To analyze the functional impact of the various possible treatments of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas to find the main prognostic factors of dysphagia induced by these treatments.
Patients.
Clinical data from 254 patients treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx between 1998 and 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.
A multivariate model enabled us to evaluate the role of each potentially harmful factor on swallowing.
Main Outcome Measures.
The significant factors influencing the consumption of liquid, pasty, and normal food were the same: the initial T stage and the type of treatment.
Conclusion.
Whatever the possible and selected treatment was, the impact on the functional capacities, and thus, the quality of life of the patients was considerable.
Even though we could not significantly demonstrate exclusive radiotherapy caused more long-term undesirable effects than surgery followed by radiotherapy, our daily practice has shown that we should favour the latter.
