ABSTRACT
A study of olfactory function was performed in 15 bronchial cancer patients receiving cisplatin and 15 control subjects. Whereas odor detection and odor identification abilities were not influenced by the administration of cisplatin, a decrease in pleasantness was observed only for food odors, and not for non-food odors. Taken as a whole, these findings suggest that cisplatin therapy in bronchial cancer patients impairs the pleasure of perceived food odors, which may account for disturbances in food intake and quality of life in this population.
