First seen Feb 14, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This pilot study explores whether people with brain metastases can stick to a ketogenic (high-fat, low-carb) diet for 16 weeks while undergoing radiosurgery. Researchers will compare this to a standard healthy diet, tracking diet adherence, blood markers, and quality of life. The goal is to see if the diet is practical and worth studying further for potential benefits.
