Effects of 12-Week Anti-Inflammatory Dietary Education on Depressive Symptoms Among Depressed Patients with Breast Cancer Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Depressive symptoms (DepS) are prevalent among patients with breast cancer. Offering an anti-inflammatory diet is a promising strategy for DepS management, but it is costly and difficult to scale up. Instead, anti-inflammatory dietary education is cost-effective and may be more conducive to the promotion of an anti-inflammatory diet strategy. Methods: A prospective, assessor-blinded, two-arm…
