Nutrition and Cancer

The role of nutrition in cancer treatments should not be underestimated; within a clinical setting, carefully considered nutritional options can help to control cachexia, the patient's ability to cope with treatments such as chemotherapy and the ability to recover from invasive surgery.Edited by Dr Clare Shaw, Head of Rehabilitation Research at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Nutrition and Cancer Care takes an unrivalled look at this prevalent disease.
