The study at Tanta University Hospital involved 60 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, divided into a control group and a study group that received additional nutritional education. The study found that the nutritional teaching program significantly improved the study group's knowledge and reduced chemotherapy side effects such as alopecia, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms. The results, supported by high statistical significance, suggest that early nutritional intervention is effective in reducing side effects and improving health status. The study recommends nutritional support and guidance for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
