Anorexia, Nutrition, Cancer Patients, ChemotherapyAbstract
Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy suffer from the side effects of chemotherapy. The major symptoms of side effects are nausea, vomiting, mucositis, and diarrhea resulting in the patient having anorexia, less food intake, and weight loss. After receiving chemotherapy for a long period, the cancer patients may have the malnutrition and cachexia conditions. It is important for patients with cancer to have received enough and complete nutrition during receiving chemotherapy course. This helps them to get stronger and have better health conditions for continuing the chemotherapy courses. The most important nutrition substances for patients with cancer are protein, fat, carbohydrate, water, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, herbs, snacks, and dietary supplements. Therefore, health care providers and caregivers should recognize the importance of preparing and seeking the appropriate nutrition substances for patients with cancer during the chemotherapy course.
