Which types of cancer commonly cause swallowing difficulties?
Swallowing difficulties are most frequently associated with cancers affecting the head and neck, such as oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers. Additionally, cancers of the esophagus, thyroid, and certain types of lung cancer can also lead to dysphagia. Tumors in these areas can physically obstruct the passage of food and liquids, making swallowing difficult or painful.
