Comparative Study to understand the Importance of Occupational Therapy, Onco Rehabilitation and Dental Prophylaxis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This comprehensive study conducted by Dr. Dibyendu Roy and the multidisciplinary team at Apex Hospital in Varanasi, India, sheds light on the significant impact of occupational therapy, onco rehabilitation and dental prophylaxis on the outcomes and quality of life for head and neck cancer patients, specifically those with buccal mucosa cancer who underwent hemimandibulectomy with pectoralis myocutaneous flap or antero lateral thigh flap. The study’s design, with two distinct groups – one receiving the comprehensive intervention and the other not availing these services during Chemo-Radiation therapy – provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of the therapeutic approaches.
