A Practical Journey Through Nutrition Care in Colorectal Cancer

In this engaging case-based session, the Dietitian follows the nutritional journey of a patient with colorectal cancer, demonstrating how nutrition support evolves from diagnosis through chemotherapy, surgery, and recovery. Through real clinical scenarios, the webinar highlights the challenges patients face, including weight loss, malnutrition, poor intake, treatment side effects, and surgical preparation, while showcasing how timely dietetic interventions can make a meaningful difference.
