Understanding Cancer Nutrition Counseling
Specialized nutrition counseling for senior cancer patients addressing weight maintenance, side effect management, and nutritional support before, during, and after treatment.
Up to 80% of cancer patients experience malnutrition. Proper nutrition during treatment improves outcomes, tolerance, and quality of life — and is one of the few things patients can control.
