Introduction

 From April 2018 to March 2019, we focused on implementing cancer nutrition guidance. It was an effort to increase the amount of nutrition guidance and improve quality. We cooperated with various research projects through nutritional guidance

The Team and What We Do

 Hospitalized patient meals totaled 325,107 during this period and we gave nutrition guidance to 4,060 persons. In discussions with NST, there were an average of 133 new requests per month (Table 1).

 Cooking classes for cancer prevention were held three times as planned.

 Cooking classes to deal with cancer symptoms have been held 232 times since the program began.

Research activities

 We are conducting joint research with various medical departments. "Surveillance of QOL after gastric cancer surgery" in gastric surgery and "rehabilitation nutrition of preoperative chemotherapy" are continuing.

 "Research on the effectiveness of rehabilitation and nutritional therapy in perioperative hepatobiliary surgery", "Development of a preoperative weight loss program for patients with colorectal cancer and its effect on postoperative complications" was also conducted. Before confirming the effect of preoperative and postoperative nutritional guidance, we aim to participate in a true complete treatment plan.

 Other studies continue research on early dietary support for cancer cachexia.

Education

 In the field of human resources development, we have a strong commitment to education and training and have conducted eight university courses for registered dietitians within universities. By strengthening our cooperation with universities, our aim is to enhance research activities in the future through the development of human resources.

Future prospects

 We plan to hold a lot of lectures about local information, about the influence of cancer therapy and cancer prevention for a lot of people, and we want to disseminate practical knowhow.

 We will also develop nutritional guidance methods and nutritional guidance information tools to improve the quality of inpatient and outpatient nutrition management.
