About the webinar:
Cancer care is evolving, and so is our approach to nutrition. But how do the latest evidence and advancements translate into practical care for the everyday patient? In this webinar, senior dietitians Jenelle Loeliger and Nina Axelsen from The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre explore what’s novel and unique in cancer nutrition care for adolescents and young adults, middle-aged adults, and older people. Drawing on real-world case studies, they’ll unpack how nutrition needs and challenges differ across the lifespan, and share practical, evidence-based strategies to enhance care for patients commonly seen in hospital and community settings.
