Nutrition Advice

Cancer therapy can affect a patient’s nutritional goals, physical strength and emotional well-being. Oncology dietitians specialize in patient’s needs to optimize nutritional intake and assist in achieving treatment goals.

Alliance International Medical Cancer Center’s Registered Dietitians, part of Supportive Oncology and Survivorship, specialize in oncology patient nutrition and are here to help. An oncology dietitian has expertise in assisting cancer patients and their families in developing a plan for good nutrition, and eating better. Proper nutrition has been demonstrated to help people with cancer maintain a healthy weight, address deficits in diet caused by anti-cancer therapies and treatment side effects, help reduce the risk for malnutrition, and improve overall health. Proper nutrition is essential for living well during and after cancer treatment.
