Are there specific dietary precautions for cancer patients?
Yes, cancer patients often need to take specific dietary precautions. Some treatments can cause nausea, appetite loss, or difficulty swallowing. Patients should focus on eating small, frequent meals that are rich in nutrients. A dietitian can provide personalized advice on the best foods to eat and how to manage side effects. It is also important to avoid foods that may carry a risk of infection, such as raw fish, undercooked meat, and unpasteurized dairy products.
