Oncology Nutrition

Oncology nutrition is a specialized area focused on the dietary needs of individuals diagnosed with cancer. Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting patients during treatment, helping to manage side effects, maintain strength, and improve overall well-being. A registered dietitian provides guidance on balanced diets rich in nutrients, ensuring patients have enough energy and protein. They address challenges like changes in appetite or taste, and may recommend specific foods or supplements to aid recovery and enhance quality of life. The goal is to empower patients through informed food choices during their cancer journey.
