Kids with cancer share secrets to eating well despite chemo's taste and smell side effects
NCT ID NCT07490093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will interview 30 children aged 6-17 who are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, along with their parents, to understand how they deal with changes in taste, smell, and food texture. The goal is to learn what coping strategies families use at home and in the hospital to manage eating difficulties. By giving children and parents a voice, researchers hope to improve nutritional support and quality of life during cancer treatment.
