Oncology Nutrition

Supportive nutrition care during cancer treatment, recovery, and survivorship.

Cancer and its treatment can change appetite, taste, digestion, energy needs, weight, and your ability to eat enough. Nutrition needs may also change throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.

Oncology nutrition care can help you maintain adequate nutrition, manage nutrition-impact symptoms, and adapt your eating plan as your treatment and needs change.

What We May Work On

Your nutrition care is shaped around your treatment, symptoms, nutritional status, food tolerance, and goals.

Maintaining Nutrition

Supporting adequate energy, protein, fluids, and essential nutrients when eating becomes difficult.

Managing Treatment-Related Symptoms

Adapting food choices, meal timing, texture, temperature, and portions to help manage symptoms that interfere with eating.

Weight & Muscle Health

Supporting appropriate energy and protein intake while working to preserve weight, muscle, strength, and nutritional status when possible.

Food & Symptom Tolerance

Finding foods and meal strategies that may be easier to tolerate when appetite, taste, digestion, or swallowing changes.

Nutrition Support

Considering oral nutrition supplements or other nutrition strategies when food alone is not meeting nutritional needs, in coordination with your oncology team.

Survivorship Nutrition

Building sustainable eating patterns that support recovery, physical activity, overall health, and long-term wellness after treatment.

Nutrition Needs Can Change Throughout Cancer Care

The nutrition strategies that help during active treatment may be different from what you need during recovery or survivorship.

During treatment, the priority may be maintaining intake, managing symptoms, and preventing further nutritional decline.

During recovery, nutrition care may shift toward rebuilding strength, improving intake, and supporting changing energy and protein needs.

During survivorship, the focus may evolve toward sustainable eating patterns, physical activity, and long-term health.

Your nutrition plan can change as your care changes.

Nutrition Is Part of Supportive Cancer Care

Oncology nutrition is not intended to replace cancer treatment.

Its role is to help support your nutritional status, manage nutrition-related challenges, and help you stay nourished throughout treatment, recovery, and survivorship.

When appropriate, nutrition care can also be coordinated with your oncology and healthcare team.
