Dysphagia after fast neutron therapy to head and neck

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

The paper "Dysphagia after fast neutron therapy to the head and neck" by Alexander et al (1989) is most interesting. It is important, not only as a valuable account of late radiation damage following neutron therapy, but also in providing further evidence of the high incidence of serious late complications observed in the patients treated in the studies conducted at the MRC Cyclotron Unit. Very few of these patients were long-term survivors and so the number at risk for late complications was correspondingly small.
