Implementing Nutrition in Cancer Care

C�?�?lescu Roxana

Nutrition care alongside with pharmacological care is rarely used in East-Europe. Even though many physicians have seen dieticians integrated in the medical team in other countries doing that in their own countries is still a neglected procedure from many points of view.

The little number of dieticians that are integrated in the medical team in Romania normally consults all types of patients when it comes to pathologies. This can be a complicated mission, but a great challenge of achieving much medical knowledge.

But actually not getting integrated in the medical team can be the main problem. There are many patients that are not motivated by their physician to get the help of a dietician and, on the other side, patients that think they can handle their diet without the help of a dietician. But one thing is sure, once they make their first visit to the dietician they are very pleased to have someone that actually listen and advise them about their food choices.
