Nutrition and Cancer

Nutrition is an important part of cancer treatment. Patients can feel better and stay stronger by eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after treatment.

Good nutrition is especially important for people with cancer because the illness and its treatments can affect your appetite. Sometimes patients undergoing treatments have less of a tolerance for certain foods and nutrients.

The nutrient needs of patients can be different in each person. Our Oncology and Wellness Dietitian can help you identify your nutrition goals and plan ways to help you meet them.

A proper diet during cancer treatment can help patients to:

feel better
maintain strength and energy
maintain weight and stored nutrients
better endure side effects of treatments
decrease risk of infection
have a rapid recovery
