Kitchen spice and olive oil tested as potential tumor treatment

This early-stage study is testing whether daily doses of curcumin (from turmeric) and a special high-phenolic olive oil are safe and might help reduce skin tumors in adults with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). The 23 participants take these supplements twice daily for up to a year while researchers monitor for side effects and measure any changes in tumor size and quality of life. The goal is to gather initial safety data and see if this natural supplement approach shows any promise for controlling NF1 symptoms.
