About the Course
This intensive 3-month Master Course in Oncology Nutrition is a globally recognized program designed for professionals and advanced learners who wish to specialize in the nutritional management of cancer across all stages — prevention, active treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
Developed by experts in clinical nutrition, oncology, and integrative care, this course bridges evidence-based nutrition therapy with emerging research in nutrigenomics, immune nutrition, and functional oncology. The course empowers learners to design personalized, condition-specific dietary protocols that enhance treatment efficacy, improve patient quality of life, and support long-term remission.
It’s the ideal program for dietitians, healthcare practitioners, and students looking to enter the field of cancer care nutrition with confidence, clarity, and international credibility.
Course Objectives:
- To provide a comprehensive understanding of cancer biology, metabolic changes, and nutritional challenges during cancer progression and treatment.
- To train learners in nutritional assessment, support, and intervention throughout different stages of cancer—diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and palliative care.
- To explore the role of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in improving treatment tolerance, immune response, energy levels, and quality of life in cancer patients.
- To educate students about the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and immunotherapy on nutrient needs and digestive capacity.
- To enable learners to develop individualized dietary protocols for different types of cancer and symptom-related challenges.
- To introduce therapeutic foods, functional nutrition approaches, immune-boosting diets, and evidence-based supplementation.
To provide practical exposure via weekly clinical case-based discussions and real-time nutritional problem-solving during the internship.
