Cancer involves uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells. These cells are called as tumor cells or malignant cells. The field of medication that deals with the avoidance, treatment, and analysis of cancer is known as oncology. Oncology nutrition is termed as nutrition and diet for a cancer patient either during treatment or after the treatment. Nutrition plays a significant role in several aspects of cancer development and is an important helpful therapy during cancer treatment. Adequate nutrition provision can help cancer patients to maintain weight and slim body composition, offering improved recovery, and better quality of life. Right nutrition for a patient suffering from cancer delivers strength to fight with the illness. The correct food helps the patient endure the distressing effects of cancer and its treatment. Good nutrition also provides more energy and improves the quality of life by dealing with side effects of treatment and helps in speeding the recovery of the patient. Furthermore, it also helps in healing wounds after chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or other treatment.
Development of elemental formulas and launch of new products for nutrition of oncology patients, rise in prevalence of cancer, increase in focus on enteral nutrition, surge in demand for nutritional food from the homecare sector are expected to drive the oncology nutrition market in the coming years. Moreover, rise in clinical research on nutritional interventions, and increase in awareness for nutrition of cancer patients are expected to boost the oncology nutrition market during the forecast period. However, tube feeding-related complications and restricted reimbursement associated with its use are the major restraints that can hamper the growth of the market. In addition, rapid product origination and improvement of elemental formulas in the field are expected to provide numerous opportunities for the oncology nutrition market in the coming years.
