Oncology Nutrition

The oncology registered dietitians and nutritionists (RDNs) of Atlantic Health System are valued members of your health care team. 

Eating a well-balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight are integral parts of the entire cancer continuum: prevention, treatment, survivorship, and palliative care. Working with a dietitian to optimize nutrition during and after treatment can improve your response to cancer therapies, minimize side effects and complications, and enhance overall health and well-being.

Our dietitians will work closely with you, your family members, and other members of your health care team to help you:

• Make dietary changes to prevent unintentional weight loss, increase energy, and improve quality of life during treatment
• Manage side effects of cancer and chemotherapy and radiation treatment, including nausea, poor appetite, diarrhea, dry or sore mouth, taste changes, and difficulty swallowing
• Manage tube feedings (enteral nutrition)
• Optimize nutrition before and after surgery to promote healing and recovery
• Adopt diet and lifestyle changes that can reduce risk for cancer recurrence and help manage other chronic conditions
• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight after treatment
• Make sense of conflicting advice on diet and nutrition for cancer patients by providing sound, science-based information

Our dietitians specialize in oncology nutrition and will provide personalized recommendations to meet your individual health needs. Nutrition services are provided free of charge.
