Nutrition Services

At Nebraska Cancer Specialists we understand it can be challenging at times getting the appropriate amount of nutrients and hydration during cancer treatment. Our complimentary nutrition services provided by a registered oncology dietitian ensure patients remain healthy during and after treatment.

What services are offered by NCS Dietitians?

An oncology dietitian specializes in managing nutrition-related side effects and/or symptoms that occur during and after cancer treatments. Our dietitians work with patients throughout their cancer care to ensure a personalized nutrition plan is in place in order to reach individual goals.

Goals that can be improved with proper nutrition can range from:

  • Reducing the loss of lean body mass
  • Preventing and combating malnutrition
  • Improving recovery from treatment
  • Increasing strength and energy
