Fasting-mimicking diet for breast cancer side effects
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if a special diet that mimics fasting can help reduce side effects from hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors) in women with breast cancer. The diet is a low-calorie meal plan designed to lower cholesterol and improve well-being.

This trial studies whether a 14-hour night fast and 10-hour eating window can improve inflammation markers and quality of life in women with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer. You would start the fasting routine within three months of beginning hormone therapy.
This study tests whether a special anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce side effects in breast cancer survivors who are taking aromatase inhibitors after menopause. You would be randomly assigned to either follow the diet for 6 months or continue your usual diet, and your health will be monitored.
