Trial tests a probiotic to change gut microbes in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study gives a probiotic to see whether it safely changes the gut’s bacteria and fungi (your “microbiome”) in people with breast cancer. The researchers want to learn if this shift in gut microbes might support breast cancer treatment or health during care.
