Abstract
Patients with GI cancers prefer the taste of fresh milk-based supplements and short-term preferences are not changed by chemotherapy. Preferences are similar between patients with GI cancers and people without cancer. A VAS is a reliable tool to assess taste preference. Further studies are needed to assess the patient compliance over longer periods and the reasons for non-compliance with prescriptions for nutritional supplements.
