Involvement of a multidisciplinary team in cancer care may have added benefits over the existing system of patient management. A paradigm shift in the current patient management would allow more focus on nutritional support, in addition to clinical care.

Patient management teams with trained oncology dietitians may provide quality personalized nutritional care to cancer patients.
