Summary
This trial aims to study the gut microbiome in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment. The researchers will recruit 30 patients to compare the effects of a high-fiber
Who is the study for?
This trial is for up to 30 patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who are undergoing neoadjuvant treatment. Participants should be willing to potentially change their diet and provide stool samples. Specific inclusion or exclusion criteria aren't provided.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a high-fiber diet, guided by nutritional counseling from a registered dietician, can positively affect the gut microbiota compared to just receiving an educational handout during cancer treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort due to increased fiber intake but are expected to be minimal.
