Reducing Cancer Recurrence with Plant-Based Nutrition

Share

International agencies around the world recommend a plant-based diet to reduce the risk of cancer development and its recurrence for cancer survivors. As practitioners, it is important to be able to educate patients on what a plant-based diet is, how it reduces risk, and the key principles for implementing this approach in a nutritionally adequate and client-tailored way to complement the fight against cancer recurrence.
