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:

  1. To provide a comprehensive understanding of cancer biology, metabolic changes, and nutritional challenges during cancer progression and treatment.
  2. To train learners in nutritional assessment, support, and intervention throughout different stages of cancer—diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and palliative care.
  3. To explore the role of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in improving treatment tolerance, immune response, energy levels, and quality of life in cancer patients.
  4. To educate students about the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and immunotherapy on nutrient needs and digestive capacity.
  5. To enable learners to develop individualized dietary protocols for different types of cancer and symptom-related challenges.
  6. 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.
