Summary

This study looks at how the bacteria in the gut and mouth are linked to nutrition in people with digestive cancer starting chemotherapy. Many cancer patients struggle with malnutrition, which can make treatment harder. By collecting stool and saliva samples, along with questionnaires and taste tests, researchers hope to find clues that could lead to better nutritional support.
