It focuses on women who are receiving certain chemotherapy medicines and can eat by mouth and attend regular visits.
This study tests whether taking a histidine supplement (an amino acid building block) alongside standard colorectal cancer treatment helps your immune system fight the cancer better. Researchers want to see if this simple addition can improve outcomes for people with stage II or higher colorectal cancer.
