During radiation therapy, patients typically experience some damage to normal cells, which may lead to a decline in physical condition. At this time, consuming an appropriate amount of high-calorie, high-protein foods—such as fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs—can help replenish nutrients and improve the body's tolerance to the side effects of radiation therapy.
