New case study: Radiation Oncology – head and neck cancer

Meet Mr Wilson, a former truck driver who presents to his GP with a hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing and the feeling of a lump in his throat. Following a CT scan and MRI he is diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of the glottic larynx. We follow Mr Wilson on his treatment pathway, and touch on the physical and psychosocial challenges of radiation treatment away from home.
