Summary
This study tests whether a dietary supplement called Biobran, made from rice bran, can help women with stage I-III breast cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it reduces side effects and improves quality of life. About 96 participants will take Biobran daily for 24 weeks while researchers monitor their symptoms, tumor size, and blood tests.
