Q&A: 10 cancer-related misconceptions
Q: Does strengthening nutrition make tumors grow faster?
A: Experts believe there is no scientific basis for believing that cancer patients need to deliberately restrict their nutritional intake. Instead, a reasonable nutritional supplement is of great benefit for cancer patients, who often have problems such as weakness, loss of appetite, and emaciation caused by the damage during anti-tumor treatment. It can help improve the body's immunity and reduce the side effects of anti-cancer treatment, thus not only providing the necessary nutrients for the body but also inhibiting tumor growth. Cancer patients are recommended to increase their intake of high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids appropriately and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
