Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find effective surrogate markers for a trial on mistletoe treatment in breast cancer patients, focusing on tolerability, quality of life, and immune responses during chemotherapy.
- It involved 66 patients (33 receiving mistletoe alongside chemotherapy and 33 acting as a control) with evaluations before and after treatment regarding various health parameters and quality of life metrics.
- Results showed a slight increase in platelets and reduced nausea/vomiting in the mistletoe group, but overall laboratory parameters were similar to controls, suggesting mistletoe treatment might help improve quality of life but needs more investigation.
