This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a feasibility study designed to test tools that measure how cancer treatment affects children's senses—particularly taste, smell, and how they experience different food textures. Researchers want to understand these sensory changes better so they can help children and teens eat well during and after cancer treatment. The study will include measurements of taste and smell abilities, questions about food preferences, and assessments of nutritional status.
Cancer treatments can cause serious side effects like loss of appetite, nausea, and changes in taste and smell that make eating difficult. More than 45% of children treated for cancer develop malnutrition, which weakens their immune system and can affect their recovery. This study exists to find the best ways to measure and understand these sensory changes so doctors can better support children's nutrition during treatment.
