Can we predict undernutrition in cancer by how food tastes?
NCT ID NCT06600295
First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looks at how cancer and its treatments change taste and smell, and how that affects eating habits and nutrition. Researchers will follow 306 people newly diagnosed with certain cancers (mouth, throat, colon, or liver) to see if sensory changes lead to undernutrition. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can help patients maintain good nutrition during treatment.
