Summary: The goal of this research study is to develop a nutrition algorithm to optimize nutritional status and improve quality of life during for participants who are completing or have completed cancer treatment. The name of the intervention used in this research study is: Nutrition Algorithm for Cancer Health Outcomes (NACHO) (a technology-based platform that houses the algorithms for the person-centered nutrition program)

Detailed description: This is a longitudinal, mixed-methods, pilot descriptive study to develop a nutrition algorithm for cancer patients based on the Cancer Nutrition Consortium (CNC) study findings and refined through a dietitian panel participants and from feedback from participants and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) members. Research study procedures include screening for eligibility, interviews and/or focus groups, dietitian panel meetings, and surveys. Participation in this study is expected to last about 12 months. It is expected about 130 people will participate in this research study.
