Ketogenic diets selectively starve tumors by providing the fat and protein that otherwise could not be used by glucose-dependent tumor cells. In KDs, the 4:1 ratio of high fat to low carbohydrates mimics the metabolic effects of starvation (Figure 2).

2024年8月27日 · The ketogenic diet — a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet purported to have benefits for people with cancer — may increase the risk of tumor metastasis, according to a new study by researchers at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC).

2018年4月18日 · Many keto diet-safe foods, like red meat, can increase your cancer risk. Is there any evidence that the keto diet can cure cancer? No single food can cure cancer, but some research has shown a link between the keto diet and slowed growth of some types of tumors in …

The ketogenic diet, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet with adequate amounts of protein, appears to sensitize most cancers to standard treatment by exploiting the reprogramed metabolism of cancer cells, making the diet a promising candidate as an adjuvant cancer therapy.

Ketogenic diets are a widely known, yet controversial treatment for cancer patients. In this review, we summarize the clinical evidence for anti-tumor effects, as well as the effects on anthropometry, quality of life, adverse events and adherence in cancer patients.

In this article, we critically assess the preclinical and human trials on the effects of the ketogenic diet (KD, i.e., high-fat, moderate-to-low protein, and very-low carbohydrate content) for cancer-related outcomes.

2024年12月7日 · A ketogenic diet is a very high-fat diet that forces your body to burn fat, not carbs, for most of its fuel. Researchers are trying to learn if it may also help starve cancer cells.

2021年5月11日 · Our pilot study at MSK is evaluating whether newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients can tolerate a keto diet for three to four weeks before surgery. We are also evaluating whether the diet can help stabilize the body’s insulin and blood sugar levels and have positive effects at the actual tumor site.

2025年1月22日 · A ketogenic diet may have health benefits for the treatment or prevention of cancer. But research is mixed, and it can have downsides for people receiving ongoing cancer...

2024年6月7日 · Dartmouth Cancer Center clinical dietician Dianne Kelecy, MS, RD, LD, gets into why a ketogenic or “keto” diet may or may not be a good diet option for you. You may associate a high-fat, low-carb diet with “Atkins.” But the keto diet dates way back to the 1920s. Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic developed it as a treatment for epilepsy.
