Qibei Jiedu Formula for preventing skin burns from breast cancer radiation
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a Chinese herbal formula, Qibei Jiedu, can prevent or reduce skin burns caused by radiation therapy for breast cancer. It's for women who will receive a specific shorter course of radiation and also have a certain pattern of imbalance in traditional Chinese medicine.
