Nutrition & Metabolic Support in Oncology

Training Overview

Nutrition & Metabolic Support in Oncology is a simulation-enhanced training program designed for oncologists, dietitians, surgeons, internists, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals involved in the nutritional and metabolic management of cancer patients. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical sessions with clinical simulations and case-based discussions, focusing on optimizing nutritional status, metabolic balance, and treatment tolerance across the cancer care continuum.

The program begins with core modules on cancer-related malnutrition, cachexia, metabolic alterations, and nutritional risk assessment. Participants review evidence-based guidelines for enteral and parenteral nutrition, micronutrient support, and metabolic monitoring in oncology patients.

Hands-on simulation sessions allow participants to practice nutritional assessment, route selection, and metabolic support planning in diverse oncologic scenarios. Under expert guidance, attendees manage nutrition-related complications, treatment-associated metabolic disturbances, and peri-treatment nutritional strategies.

Interactive case discussions and multidisciplinary sessions emphasize real-world oncology cases, highlighting the role of nutrition in treatment outcomes, quality of life, and recovery. Structured feedback strengthens clinical judgment, interdisciplinary communication, and personalized care planning.

By the end of the program, participants will be equipped to implement effective nutrition and metabolic support strategies tailored to individual oncology patients and treatment phases.
