First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looked at how cancer treatment changes patients' sense of taste and smell, and how that affects their ability to follow a Mediterranean diet. Researchers followed 116 cancer patients before and after 9 weeks of treatment, comparing those with sensory changes to those without. The goal is to better understand why some patients struggle to eat well during treatment, which could help reduce malnutrition.
