Work with an Oncology Dietitian to Optimise Cancer Treatment Outcomes with Good Nutrition

Our oncology dietitian can help you optimise your nutrition status during cancer treatment and also manage side effects including nausea, vomiting, malnutrition, diarrhoea, constipation, taste changes and poor appetite. 

How Can Nutrition Support Cancer Care?

Extensive research has shown that people who are well-nourished and meet their nutrient targets tolerate cancer treatment better and achieve better health outcomes. Dietitians provide personalised diet advice based on your cancer diagnosis, treatment, medical history and nutrition goals. We aim to optimise your quality of life by empowering you to maintain independence with
nutrition. 

​

Good nutrition is importance for cancer treatment as it can:

​

  • Improve quality of life by giving you energy, keep your muscle strong, maintain a healthy weight and improve mood

​​

  • Support your body throughout cancer treatment including optimise treatment outcomes, reduce hospital stays and enhance recovery

​​

  • Support wound healing and rebuild tissues after treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy & radiotherapy

​​

  • Maintain and improve immune sytem to fight against infections

​​

  • Optimise health status even when persistent symptoms like poor appetite, nausea and vomiting or mouth ulcers make it hard to eat

​​

  • Reduce risk of cancer recurrence and support survivorship
