ForwardNourishing Outcomes: Integrating Nutrition into Oncology Through Interprofessional Collaboration
Cancer and its treatment can have a profound effect on a patient’s nutritional needs, appetite, and ability to meet nutrient goals. During cancer therapy, targeted nutrition support is essential for managing side effects, maintaining strength, and enhancing treatment tolerance.
In this evidence-based webinar, explore effective strategies that address common nutrition impact symptoms and examine the latest research on dietary interventions, including ketogenic, fasting, and plant-based approaches.
Join Krystle Zuniga, PhD, RD, CSO, LD, on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET, for a dynamic session focused on interprofessional collaboration. Learn how coordinated care between RDs, physicians, specialists, and other health care providers can lead to earlier nutrition interventions, result in better patient outcomes, and positively affect the seamless integration of dietary support into oncology treatment plans.
Learning Objectives
After completing this continuing education activity, health care professionals will better be able to:
- Describe how cancer and its treatment affect nutritional needs and status.
- Identify the common nutrition-related side effects and evidence-based strategies for managing cancer treatment.
- Explain how nutrition interventions can improve treatment tolerance and support quality of life during cancer therapy.
- Recognize the importance of interdisciplinary communication in addressing nutrition impact symptoms during treatment.
