Dietary considerations for melanoma patients

Dietary considerations for melanoma patients are very important for patients and are very important for the recovery of melanoma patients.

Introduction to diet for melanoma patients

1. Eat less fat: Although fat is the main source of calories for the human body, melanoma patients should not consume too much in their diet.

2. Avoid excessive protein intake: Melanoma patients should have a diversified diet. Melanoma patients often experience digestive tract reactions during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which weakens digestive function, or tumors increase body consumption and cause malnutrition or even cachexia. Many people blindly adopt a high-protein diet. However, they do not know that a high-protein diet will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, weaken the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, and is not conducive to the treatment of melanoma.

3. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. Studies in recent years have found that they have antioxidant effects, can remove free radicals, block the synthesis of carcinogen nitrosamines, inhibit the degeneration of squamous epithelial cells and the occurrence of cancer cells, and also have the effects of enhancing the body's immune function and promoting ulcer healing. Melanoma patients should eat more green leafy vegetables, eat them as soon as they buy them, and do not leave them for too long, preferably overnight to avoid the loss of vitamins and other nutrients caused by storage.
