Summary
This study tests whether eating a low-calorie diet before chemotherapy can reduce side effects like fatigue, nausea, and mouth sores, and also improve how well the treatment works. About 130 people with breast or prostate cancer will be randomly assigned to either follow the diet or eat normally before their chemo. The goal is to make treatment easier to tolerate and more effective.
