The Effect of Soy Protein on Post- Breast Cancer Surgery Pain

Summary

The incidence of chronic pain after breast cancer surgery (CPBCS) is high in women diagnosed with breast cancer. Similar to other chronic postoperative pain conditions, existing treatments for CPBCS do not always work. Adopting the concept of using pain relieving measures prior to surgery rather than after it, may lead to decreased postoperative pain levels. Soy has been shown to have pain-relieving properties and may reduce the risk for developing chronic post-surgical pain. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of adding soy protein to the diet before surgery on the development of chronic pain.
