Nutrition Advice
Cancer therapy can impact a patient’s nutritional goals, physical strength, and emotional well-being. Oncology dietitians specialize in addressing these unique needs by optimizing nutritional intake and supporting patients in achieving their treatment goals.
Alliance International Medical Cancer Center’s Registered Dietitians, part of the Supportive Oncology and Survivorship team, specialize in oncology nutrition and are here to help. These dietitians have expertise in supporting cancer patients and their families by developing personalized nutrition plans to promote better eating habits. Proper nutrition is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, addressing dietary deficiencies caused by cancer treatments, reducing the risk of malnutrition, and improving overall well-being. Eating well plays a vital role in living better during and after cancer treatment.
Our dietitian team can help you with:
- Nutritional assessments and developing a care plan that meets your needs
- Understanding your changing nutritional needs through all stages and types of treatment (surgery,
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation) - Education about treatment-related side-effects that may interfere with your ability to eat, such as
loss of appetite, weight loss, dehydration, and taste changes - Information about potential nutritional and dietary supplements during cancer treatment, including
recommendations on what might help and what to avoid - Recommendations for smoothie and blender diets if you are having problems chewing and
swallowing - Nutritional counseling for cancer prevention and survivorship
