abstract: Reframing eating during chemotherapy in cancer patients with chemosensory alterations



Purpose

Our purpose was to describe how eating is reframed among cancer patients experiencing chemosensory alterations.

Conclusion
To date, interventions to promote eating among cancer patients have focused extensively on symptom management and on recommendations for macro/micronutrient intake. This study underscores the importance of understanding beliefs about eating. These beliefs may help clinicians develop patient-centered nutritional interventions.
