Eating, nutrition & cancer risk
How you eat is one of the few things about cancer risk you can act on — and eating well matters just as much during and after treatment. This page covers both: what the evidence actually says about food and risk, and gentle, practical help for when treatment makes eating hard.
A note: eating well lowers the risk of some cancers and helps people feel better through treatment — but no food, diet or supplement prevents or cures cancer on its own, and none of this replaces the treatment your care team recommends. This is educational information, not medical advice or an individualized meal plan. A registered dietitian on your care team can tailor guidance to you.
