Hosted by Oncology Specialist Group
During this years’ study day, the committee are looking forward to sharing new advances in the world of oncology dietetics and thinking outside of the conventional box! Hear all about what’s new in CAR-T therapy, practical support for people with taste changes and how the microbiome is involved in our mouths as well as our guts. They also have emerging evidence of the role of cannabinoids for Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia and new research for nutritional practice post HPB surgery.
Join us face to face on Friday 18th October in Birmingham!
