Read the detailed description

To date, few studies have addressed the link between gut microbiota and breast cancer chemotherapy, and previous studies have only provided a link between the gut and breast cancer.At present, studies on the interaction mechanism between intestinal flora and breast cancer mainly focus on two aspects: first, intestinal flora affects the occurrence and progress of breast cancer by affecting estrogen metabolism;Second, intestinal flora can influence the occurrence and treatment of breast cancer by affecting the regulation of the immune system.However, the specific types (or groups) of bacteria that promote the occurrence, development and mechanism of breast cancer still need to be further studied.In addition, since most of the current clinical studies on microorganisms and breast cancer are small sample studies, the accuracy of their conclusions remains to be studied.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yunwei Wei, doctor (+86-0451-85553099, hydwyw11@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Transcriptional changes in gut microbiota (time frame: baseline,1 day,7 day,14 days,22 days,29 days,36 days,44days,51days,58days,66days,73days,80days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
