About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether online food and nutrition lessons can help reduce chemotherapy side effects, such as diarrhea or constipation. It is for adults with stage I–III breast cancer getting certain chemotherapy treatments. Patients use the Cook for Your Life website along with their usual cancer care.

This trial tests an online nutrition education program focused on decreasing nutrition-related side effects of chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer. Patients undergoing chemotherapy are at risk for complications such as diarrhea or constipation which can lead to poor nutritional intake and malabsorption of nutrients. This study is testing the effects of information delivered via the Cook for Your Life website in conjunction with standard clinical care to improve symptom management during chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, which could serve as a new model for supportive oncology care.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
