Hi, Thanks for writing in. Initially throat cancer is treated by surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also given to kill any cancer cells that are still present after surgery. If your brother cannot get a surgery done due to the disease stage then he should be treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. You have also mentioned about his inability to swallow. This can be solved to some extent by giving him liquid and semisolid foods. This will easily pass through any narrowed passage in the throat without pain and difficulty. Inserting a nasogastric tube and then feeding him through it will prevent starvation. Parenteral feeding through veins should also be given to maintain his essential nutrition requirement. Please do not worry.
