Nutrition is a key factor in the recovery and quality of life of cancer patients. A diet suited to the patient's individual needs contributes to the recovery and maintenance of their nutritional status, immunity, strength, muscle mass and quality of life. It also helps to manage the common side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea, loss of appetite and immunosuppression.The nutritional approach must be integrated and considered from diagnosis to post-treatment follow-up. The role of nutrition in cancer patients is not just one of support, but a therapeutic intervention that aids in the effectiveness of treatment and quality of life.Bibliographical referencesMUSCARITOLI, M. et al.
