A self-control, randomized, and open-label clinical trial was performed to test the effects of the unicellular green algae  Chlorella  and hot water extract supplementation on quality of life (QOL) in patients with breast cancer. Forty-five female patients with breast cancer who were living at home and not hospitalized were randomly assigned to 3 groups receiving vitamin mix tablet (control),  Chlorella  granules (test food-1), or  Chlorella  extract drink (test food-2) daily for one month. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B), the Izumo scale for abdominal symptom-specific QOL, and a narrative-form questionnaire were used to determine outcomes. Data of thirty-six subjects were included for final analysis. FACT-B scores at presupplementation found no significant group differences in all subscales. Scores on the breast cancer subscale in the  Chlorella  granule group significantly increased during the supplementation period ( P  = 0.042). Fifty percent of the  Chlorella  extract group reported positive effects by the test food such as reduction of fatigue and improvements of dry skin ( P  < 0.01 versus control group). The findings suggested the beneficial effects of  Chlorella  on breast cancer-related QOL and of  Chlorella  extract on vitality status in breast cancer patients. These findings need to be confirmed in a larger study.
