Dietary modifications: Adjusting food textures and liquid consistencies to improve safety and efficiency of swallowing. Swallowing exercises: Specific exercises to strengthen muscles involved in swallowing. Compensatory strategies: Techniques such as chin tuck or head turn to facilitate safer swallowing. Medical or surgical interventions: Addressing underlying structural abnormalities or complications caused by cancer or its treatment.
