Study aim Determination of the effect of a honey based (HB) syrup on the blood parameters of patients with breast cancer Design Two arm parallel group randomised clinical trial, double blinded Settings and conduct Design of the study: Women patients with breast cancer referring to Shohaday-e- Tajrish Hospital of Tehran who are under chemotherapy treatment. In order to blind the investigator, medications are named as "A" for syrup of HB and B for placebo. The patients don't aware of the type of drug they are assigned to. In addition, the groups are entered into statistical analysis as "A" and "B.

The patients will revive either A or B syrup for 4 weeks. At the beginning of the trial demographic data would be gathered. Also, a blood sample would be drawn at the beginning time and after the end of intervention period (week 4).

Data would be analysed by SPSS software using T-test.

Effects a Honey Based Syrup on Blood Parameters in Patients With Breast Cancer

Honey Based Syrup on Blood Parameters

A mean score of hemoglobin level is generally defined as 12.5 to 14.5 grams per deciliter (125-145 grams per liter) for women. Higher or lower scores mean a worse outcome.

A mean score of WBC count is usually between 4,000 and 11,000 per microliter of blood for women. Higher or lower scores mean a worse outcome.

A mean score of Plt count is usually ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood for women. Higher or lower scores mean a worse outcome.
