Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Huaier (Trametes robiniophila Murr) is a traditional Chinese medicine, which has been widely used in China for many years. The investigators previous study has reported that Huaier could exert great inhibitory effects on breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huaier Granule in treating women who have triple negative breast cancer that has been surgically removed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease free survival (DFS)

    Time from randomization to recurrence, metastasis, appearance of a second primary tumor, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 10 years.

    Up to 10 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

Drug: Huaier Granule

Arm II

NO INTERVENTION
