Description
The aim of this guide is to provide information about types of cancer, difficulties caused by tumors, options for anti-cancer treatment, complications associated with this treatment, and their management. The central theme of the book, Patient Guide to Oncology Treatment, which this publication is dedicated to, is the issue of nutrition during cancer and anti-cancer therapy. Inadequate or inappropriate dietary composition can worsen the overall condition of the patient, thereby worsening the course and often the results of treatment. The tumor itself or anti-cancer treatment can cause eating disorders or disrupt and alter the processes of digestion and metabolism. The Patient Guide to Oncology Treatment is divided into a theoretical part, where you will find general information about cancer, anti-cancer treatment, and organ symptoms that may be caused by the tumor or anti-cancer treatment. The second part of the guide is practically oriented, providing advice on how to cope with problems complicating food intake and processing.
