What should be paid attention to in the diet of small cell lung cancer? During chemotherapy, the cancer cells of patients with small cell lung cancer are killed, but the body will become particularly weak, which requires sufficient nutrition to supplement. Today we will take a look at what should be paid attention to in the diet of small cell lung cancer:

The general principle of chemotherapy diet for patients should be light, soft, and easy to digest and absorb. When choosing food and taking supplements, do not rush for success.

Pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as green, yellow, and red vegetables, as well as black fungus, almond juice, water chestnuts, asparagus, lemons, red dates, garlic, etc., because fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which is an anti-cancer substance that can block the formation of cancer cells; you can choose health foods that can enhance the body's immunity and help drugs inhibit the effect of cancer cells.
