The Effect of Channa Striata and Curcuma Supplementation on Nutritional Status, Interleukin-6 Levels, and Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is frequently accompanied by chronic inflammation, malnutrition, andreduced quality of life, all of which may compromise treatment response and clinicaloutcomes. Nutritional interventions with immunomodulatory and anti‐inflammatoryproperties have the potential to improve these conditions. Channa striata is rich inhigh‐quality protein, albumin, and essential amino acids that support nutritionalrecovery and tissue repair, while Curcuma contains curcumin, a bioactive compound withwell‐established anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluatethe effect of combined Channa striata and Curcuma supplementation on nutritional status,serum interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) levels, and quality of life in patients with breast cancerundergoing treatment. The findings are expected to provide evidence for the use of thisnutritional supplementation as a complementary strategy to improve clinical outcomes,reduce systemic inflammation, and enhance the overall well‐being of breast cancerpatients.
