This webinar presented by Dr. Florian Scotte, highlights the essential role of nutrition in the treatment and recovery of cancer patients. Nutritional care is a critical component of comprehensive cancer care, as it directly impacts patient outcomes, treatment efficacy, and overall quality of life. Malnutrition is a frequent issue among cancer patients due to the disease itself and the side effects of treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.

Addressing malnutrition early can lead to better treatment tolerance, reduced complications, and improved survival rates. Key strategies discussed include the need for early nutritional assessments and personalized care plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient. By prioritizing nutritional care, healthcare providers can help reduce the risk of treatment delays, enhance the effectiveness of therapies, and support patients’ physical strength and immune function. The integration of nutritional support as part of routine oncology care is emphasized as a way to optimize clinical outcomes and improve the overall well-being of patients.
