Cancer patients have the highest prevalence of malnutrition among any group of hospitalised patients. The presence of tumour alone may lead to reduced intake of nutrients, and treatment modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation may further exacerbate nutritional disturbances. A well-planned diet can resolve many of the side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
