Abstract
Patients often follow one or more cancer diets. These diets often require unnecessary food restrictions and can lead to negative consequences for the patients regardless of their disease state. There is not only a lack of scientific evidence backing such recommendations, but often the diets can increase the risk for malnutrition. Patient-centered consultations are therefore necessary to increase awareness about the consequences of cancer diets and encourage informed decision making. If time restrictions prevent such consultations, it is still important to steer patient's decision making by providing them with appropriate, scientifically sound informational material and/or encourage them to seek medical nutrition care from a qualified professional.
