ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how an online nutrition education program can help women with breast cancer manage the side effects of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can sometimes cause issues like diarrhea or constipation, which can make it hard for patients to get the nutrients they need. By using a website called Cook for Your Life, this study aims to provide helpful information and support to improve how patients feel during their treatment.

To participate in the trial, women must be at least 18 years old and currently scheduled to receive certain types of chemotherapy for stage I to III breast cancer. They should also be able to read and speak English, have access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer with the Internet, and be willing to complete online surveys and phone assessments throughout their treatment. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it represents a promising way to enhance care for women undergoing chemotherapy.
