Brown Seaweed as a Breast Cancer Preventive
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Seaweed and Soy Protein and Placebo and Soy Protein for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Japanese postmenopausal women in Japan have about one ninth the rate of American postmenopausal women. Rates of breast cancer double even after just ten years among Japanese women who migrate to the US. Diet is thought to be an important factor, and the investigators were interested in whether dietary seaweed, with and without soy supplements, could influence known biomarkers of breast cancer risk in American women.
