The new ‘Manual on nutrition in cancer’ was recently published. This third, completely revised edition follows the latest developments in (oncological) dietetics.
There is increasing knowledge about the relationship between nutrition and the development of cancer, about nutritional problems during and after treatment and about the possibilities of providing good care through targeted nutritional intervention.
The handbook provides an overview of the current knowledge about the relationship between diet and cancer. This completely revised edition follows the latest developments in (oncological) dietetics. It is based on the most recent scientific facts and experiences.
A new chapter has been added on the interaction between food and medication. The book has also been expanded with a tumour-specific chapter on liver, gallbladder and bile duct cancer, and more attention has been paid to immunotherapy.
Because more and more people recover from cancer or survive longer, it is described how nutrition and lifestyle can contribute to the quality of life and health gains in the longer term after completion of the treatment.
‘Nutrition in cancer handbook’ is primarily written for (oncological) dietitians who treat patients with cancer, but is also intended for doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other paramedics.
