Nutrition during treatment: fewer side effects, better quality of life (Li, Supportive Care in Cancer 2024)
Nutrition during cancer is often lived as a source of confusion and guilt. Li’s research shows that, well organized, it’s a concrete tool to get through treatment better.
What the study found
A significant share of patients — around 7 in 10 — reduced side effects such as nausea and mucositis with adequate nutrition during chemo or radiotherapy, helping sustain quality of life and nutritional status.
What it means for you during treatment
It’s not about restrictive diets or fads. It’s about structure: what, when, and how to eat according to your treatment phase, your symptoms, and your appetite.
