The role of nutrition in cancer is poorly understood by Indian oncologists, who are exposed to minimal education on nutrition in their undergraduate and postgraduate careers.
A postal questionnaire survey, without reminder, assessed the knowledge and beliefs about nutrition of 120 oncologists in India (response rate = 58%).
There was a lack of teaching and understanding by surgeons and radiation and medical oncologists about the role of nutrition in prevention, carcinogenesis, treatment, and outcome.
There needs to be much more emphasis in undergraduate and postgraduate education about the supportive role of nutrition in cancer.

外科医生、放疗肿瘤学家和内科肿瘤学家对营养在预防、致癌、治疗及预后方面的作用缺乏教导和理解。
本科和研究生教育需要更加重视营养在癌症中的支持作用。
