Supporting immunotherapy and targeted cancer therapies with nutrition

We are delighted to share that our December 2025 review in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition has now been read almost 5,000 times. The paper, "Nutritional strategies in supporting immune checkpoint inhibitor, PI3K inhibitor, and tyrosine kinase inhibitor cancer therapies", brings together the current evidence on how thoughtful, individualised nutrition can support some of the most important modern cancer treatments. Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel led this work as part of our research programme at Synthesis Clinic, and the response from clinicians and researchers around the world has been genuinely encouraging.

In this blog Dr Nina summarises the review in plain language, explain what these treatments are, and sets out some practical, safe steps that people receiving them can consider, always in partnership with their own medical team.
