The course focuses on the changing nutritional requirements for patients diagnosed with cancer across treatment, during survivorship and end-stage care. As some cancer treatments can affect appetite, patients may be at nutritional risk – the ESPEN guide outlines the three categories for patients at risk: precachexia, cachexia and refractory cachexia. Multi-modal treatments are discussed including dietary counselling and sample meal plans. Nutritional recommendations for minimizing recurrence risk are listed. The GP and dietitian’s roles are outlined for managing these patients. The second section suggests recommended evidence-based nutrition management to improve the nutritional status and quality of life for patients with cancer. Omega-3 fatty acids and other ‘hot topics’ including ginger and adjuvant therapies are mentioned. The impact of chemotherapy on nutrition and gastronomy is explained. In end stage care, nutritional focus is for symptom management and quality of life. Evidence-based guidelines and research support the course content. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
