Discussion

Retrospective analysis assessed dysmotility using high-resolution manometry and imaging studies, indicating limited predictive value for screenings.

Esophageal dysmotility was found in 67% of patients in a cohort of HNC survivors with dysphagia.
MBS accurately identified dysmotility in 66.7% and esophagram in 76.9% of patients, highlighting diagnostic limitations.
Retrospective diagnostic accuracy study analyzed results from 30 patients treated between 2020 and 2023.
Findings suggest further exploration is needed to understand dysphagia and esophageal dysmotility in HNC survivors.

Katragadda et al. (2025) studied this question.
