Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The chemotherapy is placed as one of the multidisciplinary cancer therapies. However, chemotherapy is often weakened or is discontinued because of the adverse events such as bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal disturbance. We previously examined the safety and the effectiveness of AHCC during chemotherapy. The results suggested that the number of white blood cells, especially neutrophils, significantly decreased by using AHCC. The RCT of AHCC has not examined so far. We are now planning to use AHCC in the adjuvant chemotherapy "FEC 75 (5-FU+Epirubicin+cyslophosphamide)" for breast cancer patients, and to examine for the effectiveness with RCT.
