Nutrition plays an important role in cancer care, but many people are unsure what information to trust. In this episode, we introduce the dietetic services available at the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) and discuss common cultural beliefs about food compared with scientific evidence.

We also explore how dietary habits across Malaysia’s different ethnic cultures can influence food choices, highlight verified dietary risks, and explain what patients can expect during a diet consultation at NCSM. Many patients change their diets after a cancer diagnosis, often influenced by cultural beliefs or misinformation, making professional guidance from dietitians especially important.

Join us as we break down nutrition in cancer care and how the right guidance can support better health and recovery.
