Cancers of the head and neck are a well-
-known, world-wide diagnostic and therapeutic
problem. Many patients require long-lasting
treatment involving surgeries, chemo- and/or radiotherapies
(CRT). Only with special protocols
involving full therapeutic rehabilitation can lost
functions be preserved or restored. Without restoring
or minimizing the loss of function of vital
structures or organs, the patient’s life worsens. Because
of the growing occurrence of head and neck
cancer (HNC), special steps need to be taken.
