Clare Shaw 
Nutrition and Cancer [EPUB ebook] 

Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting patients receiving
treatment for cancer. Carefully considered nutritional options can
help to manage patients with weight loss and cachexia, support the
patient’s ability to recover from surgery and cope with
treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients living
with and beyond cancer can also benefit from advice on optimal
nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Edited by Dr Clare Shaw, Consultant Dietitian at The Royal
Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, Nutrition and Cancer takes an
unrivalled look at this prevalent disease, offering the reader:

* An insight into the nutritional challenges faced for patients
with cancer

* A practical guide to nutrition and dietetic practice in cancer
care

* A detailed look at nutritional options for different diagnostic
groups

* Contributions from a wide range of cancer specialists

An excellent resource for dietitians, clinical nutritionists,
doctors, nurses and other health professionals working with cancer
patients, this book is also a fascinating reference for students
and researchers with an interest in the area.
