Despite great advances in diagnosis and therapy of cancer, he remains a major causeof death in developed countries. Although surgery and chemotherapy to successfully treatsome types of cancer is necessary in these patients include a special diet duringtreatment and afterwards. Because there are many ...
Molecular explanations for this are postulated to be due to the altered pharmacokinetics of chemotherapy in overweight/obese patients and the inflammation-promoting interactions between adipocytes and cancer cells, which has been demonstrated in lab-based studies, but not in human studies as yet. ...
CANCER patientsA clinical trial published in Nature Communications examined the effect of fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) during chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. The overall negative study results highlight the need for ameliorating future trial design and investigating alternative FMD-based therapeutic...
There has long been debate over a link between diet and cancer. From the initial observations that esophageal cancers were more common in people with a high consumption of smoked fish and the link between smoking and lung cancer, it has been obvious to some that there exists a link between ...
Abstract The plethora of preclinical research data inspired the scientific community and pharma sector to design and conduct the clinical trials for assessing the dietary interventions in cancer prevention, improvising the outcome of chemotherapy and reducing toxicity and many other aspects related to bette...
Cancer and its treatment affect the way you eat Most cancer patients find it difficult to eat because of the disease itself or the side-effects of the treatments. Treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplant and surgery can cause loss of appetite and other side effects like mout...

I have also maintained better health than is normal for Myeloma patients — despite takingno chemotherapy medicationfor nearly the entire 10 years since I started the ketogenic diet! Mycholesterolis fantastic! Dividing triglycerides by HDL, the ratio should be under 2, and my latest ratio was 81...
Cancer affects a patient’s appetite, leading to reduced food intake(1). In some cases, tumors tend to induce anorexia in cancer patients(2). Cancer treatments, like surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and interventional radiology procedures, also cause side effects that may affect a patient’s fo...
by fat rather than protein, could play an important role in the treatment of oncologic patients [95,96], also increasing normal cells protection against chemotherapy, as already observed in fasting cycles retarding growth of tumors and sensitizing a range of cancer cell types to chemotherapy [88]...
