How Do Nutritionists Address Weight Management in Cancer Patients?
Weight management can be a complex issue in cancer care. Some patients may struggle with weight loss due to treatment side effects, while others might experience weight gain due to steroid medications or reduced physical activity. Nutritionists create individualized plans to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This may include high-calorie diets for those needing to gain weight or balanced, portion-controlled meals for those needing to lose weight.
