Cancer Treatment Centers of America considers cancer nutrition an important part of the treatment regimen. We utilize complementary cancer therapies, like cancer nutrition therapy, in addition to conventional cancer treatments.

Cancer Nutrition: Malnutrition Factor
According to the National Cancer Institute, about one-third of all cancer deaths are related to malnutrition. Cancer can deplete your body's nutrients and cause weight loss. Cancer and cancer treatment can also have a negative effect on your appetite and your body's ability to digest foods. For cancer patients, optimal cancer nutrition is important.
Cancer Nutrition: Assessing Patient Needs
Cancer patients at Cancer Treatment Centers of America work closely with a cancer nutrition expert to assess their needs. Assessment is the first step in developing a cancer nutrition therapy regimen. CTCA cancer patients take a series of tests to determine individual cancer nutrition needs. Cancer nutrition tests may include a computerized diet profile, cancer nutrition anthropometrics, medical history and cancer nutrition interview.

Cancer Nutrition: Patient Support
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we work closely with our patients to make sure their cancer nutrition therapy is adequate. If patients are unable to eat or digest food, cancer nutrition therapy may be provided parenterally or through a feeding tube. Most importantly, patients have a team of cancer nutrition therapists working closely with them throughout the treatment process.

At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we believe cancer nutrition therapy plays an important role in the treatment of cancer.
