Hi,
Radiation therapy can result in severe mucositis of the mouth and throat. This makes swallowing painful. Patients become even more nutritionally poor as a result.
There are no large studies establishing the benefit of high protein diets in throat cancer patients. The idea is to provide bland, nutritious, semi-solid, palatable food, in small quantities and at frequent intervals.
All the best.
