Nutritional Rehabilitation

Dysgeusia is an alteration in taste and is associated with ageusia, which is the total lack of taste, and hypogeusia, which is the decrease in taste sensitivity. While this is one of the most common side effects, in addition to the odor changes, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and hair loss seen in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, insufficient attention is still not paid in terms of advance patient information, care during the chemotherapy regimen and sequelae. Only 17% of patients receive information before starting chemotherapy and it is so embarrassing that patients rank it second after alopecia. Dysgeusia has a psychosomatic aspect showing complex subjective symptoms. As food has important symbolic, cultural and religious values   beyond nutritional aspects, dysgeusia has been shown to affect the psychosocial aspect of life, leading to poor quality of life and increased distress. Taste disturbances affect food selection and contribute to poor meal intake, thus playing an important role in the etiology of anorexia in cancer patients.
