Diet: Eating a healthy diet is important for everyone, but it is especially important for oncology patients. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables may help to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, and it can also help to improve energy levels, promote healing, and manage side effects like nausea and fatigue. Some people with cancer may need to follow a special diet that is low in sugar, sodium, or fat.
Physical activity: Staying active is important for cancer patients. Exercise can help to boost energy levels, reduce stress, and promote overall health and well-being. It is important to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program, as some types of activity may not be suitable for people with certain types of cancer.

Learning how to manage stress can help oncology patients feel better and improve their quality of life. relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing, may help to reduce stress. Counseling and support groups can also be beneficial.
