♦ Patients benefit from dietary advice and other nutritional support.
It is possible for cancer patients to increase their dietary intake and in this way
improve weight development. In addition to dietary advice, often including
commercial supplements, directly to the patients, support and information to the
families, information to and education to staff should be included in nutritional
support. The practical teaching in daily practice used at the lung cancer ward and
the co-operation between the specialist clinics and the home care service can be
looked upon as good examples.
