Nutrition therapy in cancer care

The National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health states, "Early nutrition screening and assessment help find prob-lems that may affect how well the patient's body can deal with the effects of cancer treatment. Patients who are underweight or malnourished may not be able to get through treatment as well as a well-nourished patient. Finding and treating nutrition prob-lems early can help the patient gain weight or prevent weight loss, decrease problems with the treatment, and help recovery."
