A year after starting a business that took off like wildfire, Wally noticed her health began to suffer. Her hair started falling out in clumps, she was sleeping a lot, had a sore neck, and just couldn't get up in the morning. She saw several doctors who all agreed it was a cyst. But In August of 2018, when she began to have problems swallowing and breathing, she had a biopsy. The results showed that it was squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Wally was never one to take anyone's word without proof and researching things herself. When given the very limited treatment options, that didn't sit well with her. She had an inner knowing that she created the dis-ease and knew she could fix it. Following her intuition, Wally told her doctors that she would cure herself. Today, Wally has been cancer free for over 6 years. She is passionate about health and helping people become aware of the power of healing with mindset, along with healthy lifestyle changes. Most importantly, Wally prioritizes laughing her way through the life she once never expected to have.

Head and neck cancer is a term used to describe a range of cancers that occur in the head and neck region, including the mouth, throat, larynx, nasal cavity, and salivary glands. These cancers can be challenging to diagnose and treat due to their locations.
The James has one of the largest head and neck cancer departments in the country, featuring experts in robotic and reconstructive surgery, proton radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments, as well as cutting-edge clinical trials. “The key is you need a huge support network [of nurses, therapists and other specialists] to get patients through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy … we have a team of more than 200,” said Matthew Old, MD, director of the James Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. Any cancer above the clavicle, except for brain tumors, are head and neck cancers. The number of head and neck cancer cases is on the rise, Old said, adding the reason is the prevalence of the human papillomavirus in adults. “We'll see an increased rate for the next 10 to 15 years because the HPV vaccine wasn't available a few decades ago … HPV is the cause of about half the head and neck cancers we see.” James surgeons perform about 350 transplants a year for their head and neck cancer patients. “We are all cross trained in reconstructive surgery,” Old said. “We can take tissue and bone from a patient's body and use it to reconstruct their tongue, mouth, jaw, any type of defect.” Old said that between 50 and 60 head and neck cancer patients receive radiation therapy daily at the James. The James is one of the few cancer hospitals offering proton radiation and it's “more precise and we think it minimizes the long-term consequences to the patient,” Old said. There are about 20 head and neck cancer clinical trials at the James. In one trial initiated by James physicians and scientists, patients receive immunotherapy before surgery. “This is done to prime the immune system to recognize the cancer cells as foreign,” Old said. “Then after surgery, the patient receives a year of immunotherapy.” In another clinical trial, James doctors utilize circulating tumor DNA to determine the effectiveness of treatment for their patients. “We can watch their response to treatment and tailor the treatment accordingly,” Old said.
“I'm looking for a guy in finance…” Okay, while that's the start of a recent viral song, I spoke with an SLP who *was* in finance. Fred Stahl is a second-career medical SLP who shares how he went from hedge fund management to voice and dysphagia management for head and neck cancer survivors. Together we discuss why he left finance for speech pathology, his learning experience, his involvement in a research study on swallowing (and the unexpected findings), and the incredibly dynamic nature of our field. From embracing opportunities to learning from failures, Fred's insight is both eye-opening and incredibly motivating! Tune in and get inspired. Get show notes here: https://syppodcast.com/332 Fred Stal is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist. He completed his initial training and clinical fellowship through Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation Hospital. Currently, Fred works in the outpatient setting as well as per diem in the acute care setting. He recently published research as a co-author with the NYU Swallowing Research Lab, which was presented by the incredible lead author at the 2024 Dysphagia Research Society conference in Puerto Rico. His main areas of clinical interest include dysphagia management, upper airway disorders, and most of all… all things related to the head and neck cancer population.

While advancements in oral medicine are improving the treatment landscape for head and neck cancer, routine dental care and preventative oral cancer screenings can help identify head and neck cancers early. In this episode, Alessandro Villa, DDS, PhD, MPH, chief of Oral Medicine, Oral Oncology, and Dentistry at Baptist Health South Florida's Miami Cancer Institute, emphasizes the proactive role dentists can play in early identification of cancer—as well as the need for equitable access to dental care—and explores how a cross-disciplinary cancer care team and patient education work in tandem to better manage complications from head and neck treatment. “It is widely known that any patient with a diagnosis of head and neck cancer who is scheduled to receive treatment with chemo and radiation therapy should see a dentist prior to starting cancer therapy. We should make sure that access is available for this patient.” —Alessandro Villa, DDS, PhD, MPH Alessandro Villa, DDS, PhD, MPH Chief of Oral Medicine, Oral Oncology, and Dentistry Miami Cancer Institute, Baptist Health South Florida Miami, FL This episode was made in connection with the ACCC education program Multidisciplinary Approaches to Head & Neck Cancer Care in partnership with Head and Neck Cancer Alliance and the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and with support provided by EMD Serono.

Recent advancements in treatment and a multimodal approach to care are improving outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer, however access to therapies and unique patient challenges due to disease symptoms, difficulty eating, difficulty communicating, and other psychosocial factors can reduce patient quality of life. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Angelea Bruce, RD, CSO, OPN-CG, registered dietician and head and neck program navigator at Sharp Memorial Hospital and Brittney Watts, RN, head and neck patient care coordinator at Yale New Haven Hospital, about the importance of head and neck nurse navigation and how a dedicated navigator can help address these unique patient needs and improve care for patients with head and neck cancer. “I think looking at it through the eyes of the physicians, the health insurance, the organization [cancer program], and looking at what are the patient outcomes, success rates, delays in care, survivorship...I think those are important metrics to monitor and we [as head and neck patient navigators] can let a program know whether the patient's needs are being met.” –Angelea Bruce, RD, CSO, OPN-CG “Having a specific nurse coordinator for the head and neck community is vital to the patient's journey within the entire process. This is the point person for the patient, for the providers, and you are the connection for the patient to the healthcare facility.” –Brittney Watts, RN Guests Angelea Bruce, RD, CSO, OPN-CG Registered Dietician, Head & Neck Program Navigator Sharp Memorial Hospital San Diego, California Brittney Watts, RN Head & Neck Cancer Patient Care Coordinator Yale New Haven Hospital New Haven, Connecticut This episode, developed in connection with the ACCC education program Multidisciplinary Approaches to Head and Neck Cancer Care, was made possible with support by EMD Serono.

Doctors Sara and Lisa talk to ENT Consultant Ms Sadie Khwaja about common throat symptoms we encounter in General Practice and get her take on how to assess and manage these. We cover Red Flag symptoms for the neck in detail as well as looking at three cases we commonly encounter; pain on swallowing, globus symptoms and hoarseness. We discuss a useful approach for assessing causes of throat problems, consider the triad of swallowing, breathing and voice difficulties and the importance of feeling for neck lumps amongst other interesting pearls of wisdom.

Improving the quality of life for head and neck cancer patients is the mission of Apoorva Ramaswamy, MD, a James surgeon who specializes in treating dysphagia. “This is extremely rewarding and at least once a week tears come to my eyes,” Ramaswamy said, adding this often occurs when a patient tells her they are now able to “eat food through their mouth for the first time in years.” In episode, Ramaswamy explains how the life-saving surgery and radiation treatments that head and neck cancer patients undergo can cause scarring and other structural issues that lead to dysphagia, which are swallowing and speech issues. “Every patient is different,” Ramaswamy said, adding this means the treatment strategy and techniques involved are different for every patient. Utilizing reconstructive surgical techniques, Ramaswamy can reduce the symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients. These issues can be found throughout the digestive tract, from the lips, into the mouth and soft palate, vocal cords, esophagus and stomach. Some patients experience blood pressure problems. Ramaswamy also explained how clinical trials and her collaboration with head and neck cancer surgeons and radiation oncologists are leading to reduce the side effects of treatment. “This is a very exciting time,” she said.
