NCT ID NCT06483997
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 women with breast or gynecologic cancers to see if their diet before chemotherapy is linked to levels of a protein called hepcidin, and whether hepcidin levels affect how much chemo they can receive. The goal is to understand if eating certain foods might help patients tolerate chemotherapy better. No new treatments are being tested.
