Class Description:
Recommendations about nutrition during and after cancer treatment can feel overwhelming, particularly with our increasing exposure to social media. This class is designed to provide an evidence based overview of nutritional considerations for cancer patients, particularly those currently in treatment or who have completed treatment. We will share a brief presentation to answer common questions about this topic and look forward to engaging with the audience in a follow-up question and answer session.
