i would break cown swallowing difficulties into central (brain or central nerve damage from cancer or radiation) or peripheral (peripheral nerve damage or mechanical from cancer, radiation or surgery). Either way, this can lead to aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition. one of the best options is to consider something known as peg or pej tube that goes from the upper abdominal wall straight into the stomach or the upper small intestine. this is helpful as long as the rest of the bowels are ok, otherwise parenteral nutrition is considered, good luck
