Abstract: Chemotherapy generates several side effects including changes in sensory perception that may affect
the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the impact of
chemotherapy on the chemical senses (olfaction and gustation) and its consequences on patients'
food behavior. A research gap was found concerning the direct relationship between sensory
modifications and changes in food preferences and food behavior.

Keywords: Chemotherapy, sensory perception, olfaction, gustation, food behaviors.
