Interventions
PROCEDURE

video fluoroscopy

video fluoroscopy of swallowing function at baseline, 6 months and 12 months follow-up

PROCEDURE

extra imaging

For tumor response, 2 extra CT or Fludeoxyglucose (18F)-Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT), and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be performed.

OTHER

scoring acute toxicity

Acute toxicity scoring, based on Common Toxicity criteria (CTC) version 2.

OTHER

scoring of late toxicity

Scoring of late toxicity with the 'late effects in normal tissues subjective, objective, management and analytic'(LENT-SOMA) scale.

OTHER

scoring quality of life (QOL)

Quality of life is scored with the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the 'European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer' (EORTC QOL-C30) and the Head and Neck Cancer Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-H\&N 35).
