Based on the evidence-based guidelines and clinical management, this paper presents nutrition management experience of a patient with tongue cancer who had a dysphagia and feeding reflux while undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nutritional risk screening and comprehensive nutritional assessment were performed based on the patient\u2019s medical history, and personalized nutritional programs were developed under the guidance of the clinical pharmaceutical consensus of parenteral nutrition and nutritional treatment guidelines for patients with tumors during radiotherapy. For the management of oral feeding, the patient\u2019s swallowing function was evaluated to manage oral feeding. Thickening powders were used to improve the consistency of the patient\u2019s food, which successfully achieved oral feeding of the patient.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patient finally ate five meals a day by mouth, and energy requirements were met using industrialized nutritional supplements, and homogenized food was added in between the meals. The energy provided by enteral nutrition can reached approximately 60\u201375%. The patient\u2019s weight and albumin levels had increased significantly at the time of discharge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The nutritional management of patients with dysphagia should be jointly managed by clinicians, nurses, nutritionists, and family members to effectively improve the quality of life (QOL) and nutritional status of patients. To ensure adequate nutritional supply, appropriate swallowing training may delay the deterioration of the chewing function and improve the eating experience of such patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2023.1239911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,5]],"date-time":"2023-10-05T13:07:55Z","timestamp":1696511275000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Oral
