Cancer is known as the third leading cause of death in Indonesia after heart disease and stroke, and the second leading cause of death in the world. In the early stages of development, cancer does not cause symptoms and is usually detected only when it has reached an advanced stage. This is one of the causes of the high death rate from cancer.

“In the early stages of development, cancer does not cause symptoms so many cancer patients do not realize. If it is recognized early on, the cancer is likely to be controlled, “said dr. Dedyanto Henky Saputra through a written statement, Monday (8/3).

In general, cancer treatment is to maintain body weight, prevent complications, and increase endurance. Increased endurance will determine the next action in treating cancer. During treatment, the sufferer’s mouth may become bitter or full of canker sores, making it difficult to swallow solid food.

One way to maintain nutritional intake is to eat liquid food. “Difficulties in consuming solid nutrition can be replaced with liquid nutrition as a complement or substitute before, during, and after undergoing therapy,” said Dr. Dedyanto.

He said, proper nutritional support will optimize cancer therapy in patients. One of the nutritional support for cancer fighters is Nutrican produced by Kalbe Farma.
