Mediterranean diet for early-stage breast cancer
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether following a Mediterranean diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats) can help improve outcomes for people newly diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. If you're not already eating this way, you may be able to join and get guidance on making the switch.
