Overview

A practical guide on nutrition for healthcare professionals involved in the day-to-day management of patients in all phases of cancer care. Unlike other books on nutritional oncology that focus on the nutritional needs of patients during the various forms of treatment for cancer, Nutritional Issues in Cancer Care is designed to provide site-specific information regarding the disease, common treatment modalities and nutrition implications related to the disease and/or treatment. Chapters detail nutritional issues in cancer prevention, complementary and alternative medicine, hospice and palliative care and more. Specific types of cancer are also individually examined. This resource will provide a valuable insight for those new to the field of oncology, as well as a convenient resource for seasoned professionals looking for nutritional information on common cancers.
