(i) Administration of Salvia extract (20 mg/Kg) and Coriolus versicolor (polysaccharopeptide 50 mg/Kg) promoted the immune function in posttreatment of breast cancer patients
(i) Uncaria extract (300 mg/day) reduced the neutropenia caused by chemotherapy and restored cell DNA damage in patients with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage II
(ii) Dietary consumption of flaxseed (25 g) to healthy volunteers during one menstrual cycle does not affect the angiogenin and VEGF levels in normal breast tissue but increase the endostatin levels similar to tamoxifen
(i) High consumption of enterolignans (sunflower, pumpkinseeds, sesame, and flaxseeds origin) may have a better impact in postmenopausal breast cancer patient survival
(i) Dose of 6 g/day of curcumin in combination with docetaxel (standard dose) demonstrated safe profile has a superior antitumour activity compared to docetaxel monotherapy
(iii) Green tea extract phytosomes increased EGCG bioavailability and decreased tumour circulating biomarker revealing antiproliferative effects on breast cancer tissue
(ii) Regular consumption of ginseng 1.3 g/day may improve both overall and disease-free survival and enhance the quality life of Chinese women breast cancer survivors
(i) Mistletoe therapy associated with CAF (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, and 5-Fluorouracil) chemotherapy resulted in clinical improvements of life quality in breast cancer patients
(ii) Viscum album therapy during chemotherapy in the early-stage breast cancer patients increased the life quality, may prevent neutropenia, and did not influence the frequency of relapse or metastasis within 5 years
Prospective noninterventional follow-up study of a clinical trial
(iii) Standardized aqueous mistletoe extracts therapy was well tolerated and reduced the side effects of chemotherapy, resulting in a significant stabilization of Health Related Quality of Life
(iv) Mistletoe intravenous administration (1 and 5 mg) during chemotherapy had no significant effect on granulocyte function but reduced chemotherapy-related side effects
