Summary

This study tests an 8-week nurse-led self-management program for women with breast cancer who experience taste changes from taxane-based chemotherapy. The program includes education, symptom tracking, and personalized advice to help with eating and nutrition. Researchers will measure changes in taste alteration, nutritional risk, and quality of life in 68 participants over 9 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Nurse-led self-management program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If it works, this program could offer a practical, non-drug way to help women with breast cancer cope with taste changes, eat better, and feel better during chemotherapy.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 68 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is supportive and unlikely to cause harm, but it may not improve taste or nutrition for all.
