Longitudinal EAT-10 Score Pattern in Specific Biopsychosocial Factors in a Patient with Sporadic Neoplastic Mechanical Dysphagia of the Oesophagus: A Case Report
EAT-10 scores in social gathering, before initiation, and at the end of induction chemotherapy were high while meals served in isolation, post-fasting, and soon after initiation of induction chemotherapy had low EAT-10 scores, indicating the likelihood of biopsychosocial modulation on residual swallowing mechanisms. EAT-10 score influenced by modifiable biopsychosocial factors aided in delivering instructions tailored on how to improve oral food intake, body nutrition, and response to treatment.
