Avocados and cell aging in breast cancer survivors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating avocados regularly can affect how your cells age. It is for women who have finished treatment for early-stage breast cancer and currently eat fewer than 2 avocados per week.

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.
This study looks at whether eating avocados every day can improve health in people with prediabetes. If you join, you will either eat an avocado daily or follow a regular diet, and researchers will check your blood sugar, weight, and other health measures over time.
This trial tests whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet (rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats) can help improve outcomes for women with early breast cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. You will be asked to follow this diet and keep a food diary using an online tool.
This study looks at certain proteins and signs of cell aging in cancer survivors. It may help understand how past cancer treatments affect the body over time.
This study follows how “metabolic health” patterns (like eating timing and daily activity) change over time during breast cancer care. It may help researchers learn which habit patterns are linked to better outcomes and comfort during chemotherapy.
This trial tests whether a specific nutrition supplement (amino acids and flavonoids) can lessen chemotherapy side effects, support nutrition, and improve quality of life in people with non-metastatic breast cancer. It focuses on women who are receiving certain chemotherapy medicines and can eat by mouth and attend regular visits.
