New study aims to predict which cancer patients struggle most with eating
NCT ID NCT07437326
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how cancer and its treatments change the way people experience food, including taste, mouth health, and overall eating pleasure. Researchers will ask 180 adults with different cancers to fill out a detailed questionnaire about their eating habits and feelings. The goal is to find out who is most at risk for poor food-related quality of life, so doctors can offer better nutritional help.
