Abstract
More than 20% of cancer diagnoses can be linked to an unhealthy diet and weight. Cancer patients are at risk for sustained malnutrition beyond treatment completion. This article describes how nurse practitioners can anticipate and screen for nutritional issues their patients may face over their cancer trajectory. In addition, specific evidence-based strategies to manage nutritional issues that patients may experience across their cancer trajectory are discussed.
