First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study tests whether taking a daily dried chicory root supplement (a source of prebiotic fiber) for 6 weeks can change gut bacteria and immune markers in 20 people who had surgery for stage II melanoma. Researchers will measure short-chain fatty acids in stool and analyze gut microbes. The goal is to learn if this simple dietary addition might support the immune system, not to treat the cancer itself.
