title: Nutrition, metabolism, and integrative approaches in cancer survivors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review emerging issues about metabolic changes occurring in cancer survivors during and as a result of therapy, the role of nutrition, weight control, stress management, nutritional supplements, and other complementary diet therapies, methods of mitigating side effects of treatment affecting dietary intake, and to suggest future research directions.
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature review and professional clinical experience with oncology patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Enhancing cancer survivorship requires knowledge and application of nutritional science and integrative health care approaches.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Reliable, personalized, team-generated nutritional advice must be provided to cancer patients and cancer survivors to reduce risk of recurrence, optimize energy balance, and improve quality of life.
