What is Oncology Nutrition Support?

Oncology nutrition focuses on how food and nutrients interact with cancer treatment. Proper nutrition helps maintain strength, prevent malnutrition, and enhance your ability to tolerate therapy. Depending on your diagnosis and treatment, your dietitian may recommend adjustments in calories, protein, fluids, and micronutrients to support recovery and healing.
