dc.description.abstractCancers of the base of tongue (BOT) may be treated with primary surgery, and/or irradiation, and/or chemoradiation therapy. Both the oncology team and patient need to carefully weigh up morbidity vs. cure of surgical and nonsurgical options, both of which may cause significant morbidity. Patients need to be carefully assessed relating to their ability to deal with a measure of aspiration, access to speech and swallowing services and to PEG feeding should they not resume oral feeding.
