The Ketogenic Diet (KD) is a high-fat/low-carbohydrate/adequate-protein diet. Based on the results of rigorous preclinical and clinical studies performed thus far, the Ketogenic Diet would appear to be a PROMISING AND POWERFUL OPTION FOR ADJUVANT THERAPY for a range of cancers.
(Adjuvant means an addition designed to help reach the ultimate goal.)
"In conclusion, clinical application of KDs as an adjuvant therapy for cancer patients first requires that the KD be evaluated for its anti-tumor effect for each single type/genetic subtype of cancer in a preclinical setting, as the safety and efficacy of the KD strongly depend on the tumor entity and its genotype. Based on the results of rigorous preclinical and clinical studies performed thus far, the KD would appear to be a promising and powerful option for adjuvant therapy for a range of cancers. Cancer-specific recommendations await the findings of randomized controlled clinical trials."
