A. E., RD –
It is a very thorough overview of nutrition as it relates to cancer. It provides useful information for practitioners working with patients as well as interesting information about different fields of research.
Debra Dill, RD, Eagleville, PA, Senior Director of Food & Nutrition –
This education was valuable in that it provided an in-depth education into nutrition and cancer, what risk factors contribute to cancer – environmental and genetic, and a look at the many types of cancers and their involvement in nutrition and overall health. It reviewed the science of nutrition and its role in cancer prevention and cancer treatment. I did not have a lot of training in nutrition and cancer and this provided me with great information to use in my life and practice.
Cindi Lockhart, RDN, LD, IFNCP, East Bethel, MN –
This was a very comprehensive training in the nutritional oncology field – for prevention, treatment, and survivorship. All the material was presented in an effectively summarized way with lots of pertinent research to back it up. This is a field of practice I am personally interested in and would like to implement more cancer care into my practice and I feel this course really provided me a comprehensive introduction to do so effectively.
Edy McClure, MS, RD, CDE, CD-N, Southbury, CT –
The most valuable aspect of the self-study was the comprehensive integration of cancer biology, nutrition, and emerging research on the microbiome. Specifically, the sections exploring how the gut microbiota impacts immunotherapy outcomes and cholesterol metabolism in cancer progression offered new insights that directly connect to both current and future clinical practice. Additionally, the discussion of health disparities in cancer care—particularly in minority populations—was eye-opening and emphasized the need for culturally competent interventions.
