When facing a cancer diagnosis, the patient has many doubts about the treatment to fight the illness, as well as the new daily life, and the changes she or he should make to eat properly. Having a good diet is one of the premises to keep a good nutritional state to help tolerate oncological treatments.

This is the main objective of the audiovisual project “Què i com menjar durant el càncer” (what and how to eat during cancer), an initiative specially aimed at oncològic patients, family members and professionals of the health field to be broadcasted on October 5, through the program schedule of Xarxa de Comunicació Local (XAL).

This initiative wants to share general guidelines on healthy diets during the oncologic illness -and once it is over as well-, without replacing any instructions from the experts that treat each patient. It is promoted by Anna Tresserra, lecturer at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the UB, and Raúl Zamora, lecturer at the same faculty and principal researcher at the Unit of Nutrition and Cancer at ICO-IDIBELL.
