| Human resources to be trained | Nutrition is the foundation of medicine and an essential medical skill in cancer care. In recent years, it has become necessary to train medical personnel with knowledge of clinical nutrition in order to continue cancer treatment under various circumstances, including the need to deal with cancer cachexia and sarcopenia. In home care, it is also necessary to train medical personnel who can continue nutritional management after transitioning from the hospital to the home as a local medical resource. This training will also help to revitalize NST activities in the medical field. |
