Changes in eating habits and food preferences in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy
Abstract Change in eating habits in early breast cancer (EBC) patients during chemotherapy has been poorly studied in the literature. The primary aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate food preferences and weight change in EBC patients before and after adjuvant chemotherapy. From April 2014...
