The Importance of Nutrition in Cancer Care

The Importance of Nutrition in Cancer Care

About This Webinar:

Nutrition plays a vital role in cancer care from the moment of diagnosis to post-treatment survivorship. Cancer and its treatment can affect how the body digests, absorbs and utilizes nutrients, changing a person’s nutritional needs. Maintaining a good nutrition status during treatment helps to keep people on track to receive their full prescribed cancer treatment without breaks or dose reductions, which can improve their outcomes. Good nutrition also promotes overall well-being, quality of life and reduces treatment-related complications. This webinar focuses on nutrition care for people on active cancer treatment, information on common side effects, and strategies to assist caregivers in their role of providing nutrition during cancer treatment.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain malnutrition as it pertains to adult cancer survivors.
  • Discuss effects of malnutrition during cancer treatment.
  • Identify common cancer and treatment-related side effects and strategies to manage.
  • Discuss the caregiver’s role in nutrition.
  • Provide an overview of food safety guidelines during cancer care.
