Each cancer treatment can affect taste differently: - Chemotherapy: Certain chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin and doxorubicin, are known to cause metallic or bitter tastes. - Radiation Therapy: Radiation to the head and neck region can directly damage taste buds and salivary glands, leading to dry mouth and altered taste. - Immunotherapy: While less common, some patients undergoing immunotherapy may also experience taste changes due to immune system modulation.
