ABOUT CNNT

Home >> About CNNT

 

The CNNT Project aims to provide consistent, scientifically grounded, well-documented information on nutritional support. The hope is that such information will help cancer patients, caregivers, family members and health care professionals obtain the best nutritional support during their cancer experience, especially in symptom control and nutrient replacement.

From conducting 14 focus groups across the state of Texas, the CNNT Project gained first-hand information on cancer nutrition needs from cancer patients in active treatment and their primary caregivers. The information provided to CNNT during these focus groups has been our guiding force in which the medically trained Education and Science Councils use to developing our website, patient-education materials and monthly newsletters.
The information provided on this site is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a patient/site visitor and his/her existing physician.
