Can urine tests reveal the best diet for breast cancer survivors?
NCT ID NCT07655934
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
The MILES Study is tracking 100 women recently diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer to see how their diet and physical activity change over time. Participants fill out surveys and provide urine samples, which researchers analyze for chemical markers. The goal is to develop simple, reliable tools that clinics can use to help survivors stick with healthy habits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could point toward simple, scalable tools to help breast cancer survivors adopt healthier lifestyles during and after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test a drug or therapy, so it cannot directly improve health outcomes on its own.
