Publisher's Synopsis

Written and reviewed by registered dietitian nutritionists practicing in oncology, this comprehensive resource from the Oncology Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group provides both evidence- and experienced-based information for application in clinical practice. This fully updated second edition addresses nutrition through the cancer continuum — from carcinogenesis and prevention to treatment, survivorship, and palliative care.

All steps of the Nutrition Care Process are addressed. The second edition of Oncology Nutrition for Clinical Practice includes:

  • Chapters covering nutrition screening, assessment, diagnosis and treatment of nutrition impact symptoms, and intervention and monitoring through medical nutrition therapy.
  • Nutritional effects of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy.
  • Thirteen chapters that address medical nutrition therapy for specific cancer sites, including a new chapter covering hematologic malignancies.
  • A new chapter covering medical cannabis for cancer symptom management.
  • Appendixes that summarize evidence-based diets and alternative or unfounded diets for cancer prevention and treatment and select dietary supplements and functional foods.
