First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looked at how cancer treatment changes taste and smell, and whether that makes it harder for patients to follow a Mediterranean diet. 116 patients completed questionnaires and taste tests before and after 9 weeks of treatment. The goal was to understand what affects eating habits during cancer therapy, not to test a new drug or treatment.
