Study: One in six men with advanced prostate cancer experiences reduced sense of smell and taste
One in six men being treated for advanced prostate cancer experiences a reduced sense of smell and taste, a symptom that could cause increased anxiety among patients because it is also a side effect of COVID-19, according to Tulane researchers.
A study published in the journal Supportive Care in Cancer says a reduced sense of smell and taste among some prostate cancer patients is largely associated with poor appetite and weight loss.
Although the data collection for the study predated the COVID-19 pandemic, the results pose important implications for cancer patients undergoing hormone therapy, chemotherapy and/or bone antiresorptive during the coronavirus crisis.

Subscriber only A Coast business is stepping away from the norm to offer pawternity leave for staff to care for their unwell fur babies. The paid leave will allow Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy staff to look after their pets when they need special care. Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy human resource manager Isabelle Roche said the business of 29 years was able to introduce the leave by changing the definition of the business s personal leave to include pets. Most of our employees are between 25 and 35 years old, so we realised that most of our employees don t have kids yet, so we wanted to give them an opportunity to use their personal leave to care for their loved ones regardless of if they are kids, family or pets, she said.
