Oncology Dietetics

Oncology Dietetics is a specialized field that focuses on the nutritional needs of cancer patients. It aims to support patients during their treatment and recovery by providing tailored dietary advice to help manage symptoms, improve overall health, and possibly enhance treatment outcomes. Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining strength, managing side effects from treatments like chemotherapy, and supporting the immune system. Oncology dietitians work alongside medical teams to create personalized nutrition plans, ensuring patients receive the essential nutrients needed for their unique situations while helping to improve their quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
