Nutrition is a key factor in the recovery and quality of life of cancer patients. A diet tailored to the patient’s individual needs contributes to the recovery and maintenance of nutritional status, immunity, strength, muscle mass, and quality of life in these patients. In addition, it helps manage common side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea, loss of appetite, and immunosuppression. The nutritional approach must be integrated and considered from diagnosis through post-treatment follow-up. The role of nutrition in cancer patients is not merely supportive but a therapeutic intervention that enhances treatment efficacy and quality of life. References MUSCARITOLI, M. et al.
