Can fasting and a common pill slow breast cancer growth?

NCT ID NCT05023967

Summary

This study is testing if combining time-restricted eating (fasting for at least 16 hours each night) with the diabetes drug metformin can slow the growth of early-stage breast cancer. It involves 120 women who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if this combination reduces cancer cell activity and could become a new way to help control the disease.
