Good nutrition is one of the most important things required to lead a healthy life and in patients suffering from cancer a balanced nutrition is even more important. Oncology nutrition is a vital part of the entire process for recovering from cancer. Consuming a wide variety of foods and nutritious meals helps in coping with the heavy medication that is a part of cancer treatment. Following a well-balanced oncology, nutrition helps in improving strength, maintaining body weight, and assists the body in recovering from cancer. In most cases, well-nourished patients respond better to cancer treatments. Balanced oncology nutrition includes consumption of foods and liquids that are rich in macronutrients - which include proteins, fats, and carbohydrates as well as micronutrients such as minerals and vitamins. A qualified and registered dietician is an important member of the healthcare team taking care of the cancer patients. The dietician provides focused counseling about proper oncology nutrition to be followed during the cancer treatment.

Following well-balanced oncology nutrition is vital to prevent malnutrition during the course of cancer treatment. It also helps the patients to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, to manage the side-effects of cancer treatment, to be physically active, and at the same time reduces the risk of cancer coming back. It is observed that people diagnosed with cancer are highly motivated to improve or maintain their health. The patients often search for information on the web or reach out to experts. The major aim during the cancer treatment is to eat healthy and keep the body replete with nutrients and calories for healing, recovery, repair, and energy. A well-balanced diet must be coupled with targeted oncology nutrition products during and after cancer treatment. The products packed with macro- and micro-nutrients fill the nutrition gap left by regular meals. In cancer patients, inadequate intake of calories, proteins, or other nutrients like vitamins and minerals can lead to malnourishment.

Malnourishment, caused due to cancer treatment or other related complications, can make patients weak or drained. Furthermore, it may lead to disruptions or delays in the cancer treatment and longer hospital stays. On the other hand, consuming excessive calories could lead to excessive weight gain, in turn, increasing the risk of cancer recurrence. According to Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), approximately 65 to 70% of oncology patients suffer from malnutrition. In 2023 WHO recorded cancer as the second leading cause of death globally and which accounted for 8.9 million deaths. WHO further stated that between 30% and 50% of cancer deaths are preventable by avoiding key risk factors that include tobacco products, alcohol consumption, and by maintaining a healthy body weight.

Increasing demand for nutritional feeding in homecare sector, growing trend towards an enteral mode of nutrition from parenteral, increasing number of cancer cases, and increasing incidence of malnutrition in cancer patients are expected to be the major drivers for the global oncology nutrition market. In addition, developing clinical research in oncology nutrition is expected to trigger the growth of global oncology nutrition industry in the coming years. However, tube feeding-related complications and restricted reimbursement may pose challenges to oncology nutrition market. Rapid product innovation and advancement of elemental formulas in the field is expected to act as an opportunity for oncology nutrition market in the near future.
