Recruitment details

There were 631 patients with a previous history of head and neck cancer in the 10-year record. Of the 631 patients, 587 were excluded for the following reasons: patients could not be contacted (n=458), death (n=72), esophageal obstruction or stricture, previous esophageal surgery (n=34), and patients who refused to participate (n=23).
