There is a long history of interest in the role of nutrition in cancer but only in the last 50 years has this interdisciplinary field developed scientific evidence from a combination of population studies, basic research, and clinical studies. Precision oncology, targeted therapies and immunonutrition have led to advances in cancer treatment and prevention. The editors have over 40 years of clinical and research experience integrating science with practical advice based on available evidence for healthcare professionals while highlighting research vistas for the scientific community. The book includes a chapter on nutrition support.

Praise from ASPEN’s Publications Review Committee

In this comprehensive guide, Drs. Ikizler and Mitch—well known and respected experts in kidney disease—thoroughly cover the topic of nutrition and kidney disease as well as several comorbidities. They present unbiased reviews of controversial topics, such as whether to restrict protein in patients with acute kidney injury. Although emphasizing the need for physicians to participate in nutrition care, the authors also stress the importance of the interdisciplinary team, particularly dietitian involvement in regular care of patients at all stages of kidney disease. Dialysis technicians may also find this text beneficial to understand the interdependence of nutrition status, treatment, and disease progression or recovery.
