Time Restricted Eating During Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer (NCT05259410)
The Safety and Efficacy of Time Restricted Eating Alone or Combined the Mediterranean Diet During Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the United States however, little is known about how diet can affect cancer treatment. Pre-clinical murine studies report intermittent fasting increases effectiveness of chemotherapy and decreases treatment related adverse events. The proposed research will demonstrate that time restricted eating, a form of intermittent fasting, will improve treatment related outcomes, patient related outcomes, and limit treatment related weight gain and fat mass accretion.Time restricted eating combined with a mediterranean diet will also be feasible and improve cardiometabolic risk more than TRE alone or standard care.
