Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is essential for most cancer patients, but even more so for patients with high-risk cancers, such as pancreatic cancer. Maintaining your weight as much as possible can help improve nutritional status, physical functioning, help maintain muscle mass, and enhance the overall quality of life. Therefore, MNT should be incorporated as early as possible to optimize nutritional status.

Your lungs are part of the respiratory system that works together to help you breathe. They bring fresh oxygen into your body and remove carbon dioxide and other waste gases that your body doesn't need. Every cell in your body needs oxygen to survive.
Lung cancer found at early stages is easier to treat and may be curable. Lung screenings
are important because early detection improves outcomes and saves lives. Our lung
specialists encourage patients at high risk for lung cancer to participate in our Lung
Cancer Screening Program.
