Opis
Breast cancer is a devastating cancer having multifactorial origin. It is the most common cancer and second leading cause of death in women. Every year more than one million breast cancer patients are diagnosed throughout the world and it has been assumed that among them more than 410000 would die due to the disease. In our country due to the absence of official registry records, not much information about breast cancer. 12764 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed and 6846 women died in Bangladesh in the year 2018. In low- and middle-income countries including Bangladesh due to lower resource settings women with breast cancer may receive inadequate treatment, palliative care or pain relief. The study would be a quasi-experimental study involving breast cancer patients and would be conducted in the Department of Pharmacology and Department of Oncology, BSMMU, from March 2019 to August 2020. A total of 80 breast cancer patients would be selected by abiding selective inclusion and exclusion criteria. After completing necessary formalities including informed written consent of the patients, patient's requisite data will be collected. The diagnosed patients would be randomly allocated into two groups: group A (control group) and group B (intervention group). Group A would consist of 40 patients who will receive chemotherapy and group B would consist of 40 patients who will receive vitamin C (1000 mg) and vitamin E (400 mg) orally daily along with chemotherapy. Both groups would receive treatment for 8 weeks. Comparison between the two groups would be performed through biochemical parameters such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidant status (TOS) at baseline (before vitamin C and vitamin E supplementation) and 6 weeks after intervention by vitamin C and E supplementationtation. Statistical analysis will be obtained by SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 20. Results will be presented in tables and figures as applicable. Calculated 'P' value may suggest the level of significance (significant at P˂0.05, 0.01 and 0.001). Patients will be informed about the study in easy language and then informed consent will be taken. This study has no potential risk to the patients.
