What is Speech and Language Therapy in the Context of Cancer?
Speech and language therapy (SLT) is an essential component of the multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. It focuses on the evaluation and treatment of speech, language, communication, and swallowing disorders that may arise due to cancer or its treatments. Cancer patients may experience these issues due to tumors in the head and neck region, neurological impacts of brain cancer, or side effects of treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
