Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Cancer Care. In this article, we delve into Nutrition During Cancer Treatment, exploring the latest advancements and essential information.
Good nutrition helps patients maintain their strength, keep body tissue healthy, and fight off infection. Patients who are well-nourished are often better able to tolerate treatment side effects.
Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can cause nausea, changes in taste or smell, mouth sores, and loss of appetite. These side effects can make eating difficult, leading to unwanted weight loss.
Eating small, frequent meals rather than three large ones can help. Focusing on high-protein, high-calorie foods (like nuts, cheese, and protein shakes) and avoiding strong-smelling foods can also mitigate nausea.
