Study Tests 'Medically Tailored' Meals For Patients With Lung Cancer To Fight Nutrition

Caption

Colleen Spees, PhD, RD, samples a meal made for patients at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. Customizing meals can prevent malnutrition in cancer patients, but Spees led a study that found dietitians are severely understaffed at outpatient cancer centers, making it impossible to offer this resource to every patient.
