Going Beyond the Guidelines: Nutrition Care for Head & Neck Cancer
About this Webinar
Nutrition care for patients with head and neck cancer often requires early and individualized interventions. While guidelines help clinicians understand what the evidence deems as best practice, guidance on how to translate recommended frameworks and research into real-world application is still beneficial.
Join Dr. Krystle Zuniga, a board-certified oncology dietitian, as she reviews the latest ASPEN recommendations and brings evidence-based nutrition care to life. From behavioral counseling strategies to diet composition, she’ll share the information you need to confidently support your patients and improve clinical outcomes.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize and address common nutrition‑impact symptoms that reduce intake duringchemoradiation therapy (CRT)
- Implement evidence‑informed strategies to maintain or improve oral intake during criticalphases of CRT
- Support patient adherence to nutritional interventions using communication, monitoring, andbehavior‑based techniques
- Bridge the 2026 ASPEN head and neck cancer nutrition guidelines with real‑world clinicalinsights to enhance their patient care and support recovery during and after CRT
