Cancer Related Nutritional Problems
Many patients undergoing treatment for cancer, experience nutritional issues that may lead to malnutrition or dehydration. Dr. Bock has completed a nutritional residency in surgical oncology where he was trained to help patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery, to treat and potentially cure various types of cancers. By using proper eating and drinking techniques, along with a nutritionally balanced diet, we can minimize the side effects of chemotherapy agents and radiation therapy. Dr. Bock was also trained to help patients that have undergone gastrointestinal surgeries for cancer to learn how to adapt their diet to maintain hydration and maximize their nutritional status. Patients that have undergone treatment for pancreatic, gastric, liver, colon in various other types of cancers can greatly benefit from proper nutrition therapy before, during and after their treatment. Dr. Bock can assist patients with:
- Weight Management
- Nutrition Support – tubefeedings, oral supplements, IV nutrition
- Vitamin and Mineral Therapy
- Metabolic Studies – to measure your metabolic rate to help you achieve your optimal weight
