What are the nutritional problems associated with mesothelioma cancers?
The most seen and common nutritional problems facing a vast number of mesothelioma patients are: Insufficient protein, and insufficient calories in their diet. These mentioned nutritional requirements are very vital in the healing, provision of energy, and also in the help to fight infections. It is therefore important that these nutrients be supplied in their diet. For patients who will be undergoing surgery, chemotherapy or other mesothelioma treatments options, intensive nutritional support is necessary and must be given to get them prepared for treatment, and for patients who will be undergoing palliative mesothelioma treatments, improving their nutrition will go a long way in offering them a better quality of life and a better general health.
