- Taste may change with chemotherapy and some types
of radiation therapy. People may experience changes in smell as well as
taste perception because many cancer chemotherapy agents act by killing
off rapidly dividing cells

- Good nutrition is needed for general good health and is
particularly important when you are ill. During this time, it is
important to give your body the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins
and minerals it needs for energy, repair of normal tissue, and to keep
your immune system strong to fight disease.

- Adopting a healthy lifestyle - diet, physical activity, sleep habits, no tobacco, limited alcohol - can promote longevity, quality of life, reduce the risk of cancer, side effects, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and stroke. Vitamin D protects against cancer, bone disease, heart disease, infections, inflammatory conditions, and multiple sclerosis. Essential fatty acids may play a critical role in the prevention and treatment of cancer and other chronic illnesses.

- Nutrition and exercise are two areas in which healthy lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of recurrent and new cancers and promote survival and quality of life. Cancer survivors are at risk for developing secondary tumors, as well as multiple comorbid problems. Increase food intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. There is a correlation between the risk of cancer and heart disease when the LDL cholesterol is elevated.

Ernest H. Rosenbaum, MD
- A small amount of weight loss can possibly avert a diabetic future. A loss of about 10% of body weight and three hours of weekly exercise can reduce diabetic risk by around 50-60%. Those who are overweight, who can't lose weight or keep it off on a low-fat diet, might do better on a low glycemic load diet.

-
Mucositis can occur anywhere along the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, leaving the mucosal tissue open to ulceration and infection. Mucositis is further complicated by nausea and vomiting which often occurs with treatment. Chemotherapy, radiation and targeted therapies can affect the ability of cells to reproduce, slowing healing of the oral mucosa.

- Cancer therapy or cancer itself may cause changes in your body chemistry that result in a loss of appetite. Pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or a sore or dry mouth may make eating difficult and cause loss of interest in food. Ideally, the physician, nurse or a registered dietitian should be working with the oncologist and yourself.

- Adequate nutrition can be challenging for patients with cancer. Physical problems may interfere with food intake and proper nutrition. Patients with mouth or throat pain can interfere with chewing and compound difficulties in swallowing. Tooth and gum disease further complicate the problem. A resultant weight loss tends to weakness, inactivity, discouragement, further anorexia, and
susceptibility to infection.

New patient toxicities occur when targeted therapies usually monoclonal antibodies or small molecules such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors are given in conjunction with more traditional chemotherapy drugs. Mucosal injury can be a combination of either or both with mouth ulcers and diarrhea prominent.

It is important to know who is at risk of mucositis and to prevent complications to help improve quality of life and maximize your therapy. These risk factors include radiation to the head and neck, high dose chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, certain single agent anti-cancer drugs or a combination of these. Symptoms of mucositis should be treated as soon as they appear. It is important to be educated about proper nutrition and oral hygiene to help prevent or lessen these symptoms. Once you are aware of proper nutrition, you will be able to maintain adequate hydration, maintain your immunity and help
prevent nausea as well as protecting your teeth
