To review what constitutes optimal nutrition for the cancer patient.
Conventional nutrition, botanical and biomedical journals and texts, electronic media, databases, and abstracts.
Optimal nutrition is neither a complementary nor alternative treatment, but is the fundamental groundwork for the creation of the most favorable cancer treatment outcomes as presented in numerous study findings and journal articles. The two main topics of this article are (1) general food choices and decisions that can affect treatment outcomes; and (2) a brief look at the specific scientific application of individual nutrients to affect a positive impact on treatment, protection of healthy cells and tissues, side-effect mitigation, and quality of life for cancer patients.
It is critical for health care providers to both acknowledge and apply the principles of nutrition for cancer patients both in general and as part of a therapeutic regimen. It is important for nursing staff to understand that nutritional elements can promote or detract from cancer treatment and recovery.
回顾对癌症患者而言什么构成最佳营养。
传统营养、植物学和生物医学期刊及文献、电子媒体、数据库和摘要。
最佳营养既不是辅助治疗也不是替代治疗，而是如众多研究结果和期刊文章所表明的，是实现最有利癌症治疗结果的根本基础。本文的两个主要主题是：（1）可能影响治疗结果的一般食物选择和决策；（2）简要探讨个别营养素的具体科学应用，以对治疗产生积极影响、保护健康细胞和组织、减轻副作用以及提高癌症患者的生活质量。
医护人员认识并应用针对癌症患者的营养原则，无论是总体上还是作为治疗方案的一部分，都至关重要。护理人员必须明白营养元素可促进或不利于癌症治疗及康复。
