What are swallowing difficulties in the context of cancer?
Swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia, are a common issue faced by cancer patients. These difficulties can arise due to the cancer itself or as a side effect of treatments such as surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Dysphagia can affect the ability to eat and drink, leading to malnutrition and dehydration, which can significantly impact a patient's quality of life.
