“…[5,7] Although the reason for the difference in taste alterations by gender is not clearly known, female patients are more sensitive to taste alterations than men. [21,22] In this study, taste alteration did not vary by age.

This study aimed to investigate nutrition in cancer patients, chemotherapy-induced taste alterations and the factors affecting these taste alterations. METHODS This study was planned as a cross-sectional study. Patients who had received chemotherapy at least once and had been on chemotherapy for the last 7-10 days (n=112) were included in this study. The data were collected using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and the Chemotherapy-induced Taste Alteration Scale (CiTAS). RESULTS The CiTAS score was higher in female cancer patients. Patients with nausea 2.19 (SD=1.00) and vomiting 3.13 (SD=1.21) had higher scores on the taste disorder subscale of the CiTAS, while patients with vomiting 3.00 (SD=1.42) had higher scores on the general taste alterations subscale (p<0.05). Patients with constipation received high scores on the subscales of reduction in intake of the basic tastes, taste disorder, and general taste alterations 2.50 (SD=1.27) (p<0.05). Patients with a lack of appetite obtained high scores on the subscales of reduction in the intake of the basic tastes, taste disorder, phantogeusia, parageusia, and general taste alterations 2.64 (SD=1.29) (p<0.05). Mild malnutrition was observed in 24.6% of the patients. CONCLUSION This study revealed that taste alteration was higher in female and early-stage patients and more severe in patients with nausea, vomiting, constipation, and mucositis. Taste alteration was found to be greater in patients with poor nutritional status.

“…Thus, the higher the intensity of gustatory changes, the higher the score. 17 The data showed a higher score for hypogeusia associated with the discomfort of patients undergoing chemotherapy that still smoke or have other associated disease.

“…In the literature, the drugs that cause the change of taste include antibiotics, analgesics, anti-hypertensive drugs, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, bronchodilators, muscle relaxants, antiepileptic, oral, psychopharmacological and mouth washers. 17 The patients undergoing chemotherapy with Xerostomia presented a high score for the following amendments: hypogeusia, fantogeusia and parageusia. Patients with mucositis showed a higher intensity to the changes of cacogeusia, ageusia and hypogeusia, and, thus, a higher score.…”

Background: the emergence of new drugs for cancer treatment has reflected on increasing patient survival. However, these drugs bring side effects, such as dry mouth sensation and hyposalivation. This study aimed to evaluating the relationship between patients with cancer and xerostomia and hyposalivation. Method : cross-sectional study with 114 patients diagnosed with cancer treated with anastrozole and / or bicalutamide. Age, type of neoplasia, gender, xerostomia, and type of medicine were obtained through questionnaire. Resting and stimulated salivary flow were collected by the researcher. After collection, using a 10 mL disposable syringe, salivary flow was quantified in millimeters and divided into 6 (collection period). A Descriptive statistical analysis, Chi-square test and T-test were carried out through Statistical Package for Social Science® (SSPS) version 21, considering p<0.05. Results : results showed that 67 (55.8%) patients who use hormone therapy presented hyposalivation and 73 (64. 0%) patients presented xerostomia. Conclusion : According to the results from this study, there is statistically significant association between stimulated hyposalivation and hormone therapy usage (p = 0.015). Statistically significant association was also observed among hyposalivation and xerostomia and hormone therapy usage (p=0.049 and p = 0.001).
