Conditions: Breast Cancer
Interventions: channa striata and curcuma, Maltodextrin (Placebo)
Countries: Indonesia
Breast cancer is frequently accompanied by chronic inflammation, malnutrition, and reduced quality of life, all of which may compromise treatment response and clinical outcomes. Nutritional interventions with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties have the potential to improve these conditions. Channa striata is rich in high-quality protein, albumin, and essential amino acids that support nutritional recovery and tissue repair, while Curcuma contains curcumin, a bioactive compound with well-established anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluate the effect of combined Channa striata and Curcuma supplementation on nutritional status, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and quality of life in patients with breast cancer undergoing treatment. The findings are expected to provide evidence for the use of this nutritional supplementation as a complementary strategy to improve clinical outcomes, reduce systemic inflammation, and enhance the overall well-being of breast cancer patients.
