Swallowing difficulties in oxaliplatin-treated patients are atypical and attributable to chemotherapy commencement. Previous research suggests that dysphagia is triggered by cold exposure, but hot and carbonated boluses also caused problems here. Dysphagia symptoms and triggers should be studied more fully to help patients safely enjoy their meals and prevent food avoidance, which could exacerbate malnutrition.
