Cancer treatment is a battle between the body and the disease, and nutritional support is the key battlefield to provide patients with "ammunition". Guangzhou R&F Hospital Cancer Center pioneered a transnational cultural customized nutritional therapy, with "precise nutritional intervention + respect for local diet" as the core, providing "scientific and warm" dietary support solutions for international patients in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States, so that every bite of food can help fight cancer.
Why do cancer patients need exclusive nutritional support?
Cancer patients often face a vicious cycle of malnutrition and decreased immunity due to tumor consumption and treatment side effects (such as oral ulcers and intestinal mucositis). Studies show:
40% of cancer patients die from malnutrition rather than the tumor itself;
Scientific nutritional support can increase the completion rate of chemotherapy by 30% and reduce the risk of infection by 50%.
Our hospital's nutrition program breaks through the limitations of the traditional "unified recipe" and achieves triple precision:
Precise anti-cancer needs: Dynamic adjustment according to tumor type (such as high protein for digestive tract cancer and antioxidants for lung cancer);
Precise metabolic analysis: Locking nutritional gaps through genetic testing and intestinal flora assessment;
Precise cultural adaptation: Respecting religious beliefs and regional dietary traditions, storing more than 400 regional specialty food genomic data, and developing more than 20 kinds of religious and cultural dietary templates, so that patients can "eat it and eat it more easily".
Transnational nutrition support: science-based, culture-based
Patient Region | Food Culture Pain Points | Fuli Special Program | Core Nutrient Design |
Southeast Asia | Prefer coconut milk and spices; dislike greasy food during chemotherapy | Thai coconut quinoa porridge (coconut milk replaces cream) + lemongrass steamed fish | High dietary fiber + medium-chain fatty acids; relieves radiation enteritis |
Middle East | Halal certification required; avoid pork; favor chickpeas and lamb | Halal-certified lamb quinoa cake + chickpea stewed in pomegranate juice (antioxidant) | High ferritin + zinc content; improves anemia after chemotherapy |
East Asia | Prefer warm, soft foods; emphasize medicinal diets | Ginseng & Astragalus black chicken soup (boosts white blood cells) + ginger yam purée | Immune polysaccharides + gingerol; alleviates vomiting and mucosal damage |
Europe & the U.S. | Prefer cold salads; avoid organ meats | Low-temperature slow-cooked chicken breast salad + chia seed yogurt (probiotic-fortified) | High branched-chain amino acids; maintains muscle mass, reduces cancer cachexia |
Four major technological advantages of our hospital's nutritional support
Customized protein diet:
○ Customized high-protein soft food (such as Middle Eastern-style hummus, Japanese tea bowl steaming shape) for patients with oral ulcers and dysphagia, taking into account nutrition and appetite.
Intestinal microecological intervention:
○ According to the results of fecal flora detection, supplement Bifidobacterium (with fermented coconut milk) lacking in Southeast Asian patients and Akkermansia (with pomegranate extract) lacking in Middle Eastern patients.
Dynamic metabolic monitoring:
○ Real-time tracking of nutritional metabolism through wearable devices (such as sweat glucose monitoring stickers), AI algorithm adjusts the recipe every 48 hours.
Cross-cultural nutritionist team:
○ Team members are proficient in English, Arabic, and Malay, and have a deep understanding of dietary taboos in various countries (such as Indian vegetarian grading and special needs of Muslims during Ramadan).

Nutritional support for other cancer patients in Guangzhou R&F Hospital Cancer Center
Case 1: A Malaysian nasopharyngeal cancer patient (Chinese, 45 years old)
Had severe oral ulcers after radiotherapy and was unable to swallow. Nutritionists customized a "Nyonya flavor" nutrition plan: pumpkin porridge stewed with coconut milk (cooled to room temperature) + tamarind jelly (rich in vitamin C), the pain score dropped from 8 points to 3 points, and the weight was stable.
Case 2: A Saudi liver cancer patient (52 years old)
Had diarrhea caused by targeted therapy and refused non-halal food. Halal-certified camel milk (rich in lactoferrin) + Arabic coffee flavored protein powder was provided. After 7 days, the frequency of diarrhea decreased by 70%, and serum albumin rose to normal values.
Case 3: A Japanese gastric cancer patient (68 years old)
Suffered from anorexia after surgery and missed the taste of his hometown. 3D printed bonito soup tamagoyaki (soft tofu base), paired with natto probiotics, increased food intake by 50% after 2 weeks, and recovered physical strength to walk independently.
