Pursuance of Masters in Health Care Management from Oxford made me realize that dynamics of the industry should always have the patient in the core centre. Having my base background in Homeopathy, and Clinical Nutrition, I believe that any ailment or illness should look above and beyond conventional medicinal line of treatment. In over a decade of clinical experience which ranged from clinics, psychotherapy units, fitness industry and involved patients from diverse background including oncology, I propound that Nutrition plays an integral role in management of chronic illness like cancer. However, the positive impact it can have on patients is often not discussed.
I would like to take this opportunity to throw some light on the following:
1) Overview of Nutrition in Cancer patients
2) Impact of cancer treatment on Nutrition
3) Types of Nutrition support
4) How to tackle loss of appetite and weight loss
5) Nutrition trends in Cancer patients
