Cancer NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES
Written by Mystic on Thursday, October 04, 2007There are several factors that may contribute to the type and degree of nutrient deficiencies:
The primary organ where the malignancy occurs.
The severity of the cancer at the time of diagnosis.
The symptoms experienced by the person with cancer.
The type and frequency of the cancer treatment being used and the side effects associated with that treatment (surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy).
The effect of the malignancy or disease on food and nutrient ingestion, tolerance, and utilization.
