Cancer & Nutrition
Food for treatment, recovery, and surviving well.
Cancer patients are immunocompromised. Allergen cross-contact, gluten exposure, and ultra-processed food aren't lifestyle questions — they're treatment risks.
The Reality
Cancer treatment puts food at the center
Chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and stem-cell transplant all suppress immunity, alter taste, damage gut lining, and complicate digestion. The food on the tray is part of the treatment plan.
The American Institute for Cancer Research links roughly 18% of U.S. cancer cases and 16% of cancer deaths to dietary and lifestyle factors. Diet-sensitive cancers — colorectal, gastric, esophageal, breast, pancreatic — are among the most common.
For survivors, long-term nutrition shapes recurrence risk. For patients in active treatment, allergen-safe, anti-inflammatory, plant-forward food makes the day-to-day livable.
