Can lung cancer patients eat fish? Fish contains high-quality protein, which is beneficial to the recovery of cancer patients

At present, there is no sufficient evidence to prove that eating a certain type of fish can induce or promote the occurrence and development of lung cancer tissue.

Lung cancer patients, especially those in advanced stages, are prone to malnutrition, even weight loss, fatigue, and systemic failure due to the crazy growth of tumor tissue, which consumes a lot of nutrients and energy from the human body. From the perspective of modern nutrition, fish are rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, which can not only ensure the nutrition needed by the body, but also increase immunity, which is of great benefit to the treatment of lung cancer. Therefore, lung cancer patients can eat fish, provided they are not allergic to fish.

It should be noted that lung cancer patients should avoid eating fried, smoked, grilled, or pickled fish, and try to choose cooking methods such as steaming and stewing.
