Can a Low-Sugar diet starve brain tumors?
NCT ID NCT01535911
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a strict low-sugar, high-fat diet (called an energy-restricted ketogenic diet) can help control glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The diet aims to 'starve' tumor cells by changing the body's energy sources while healthy brain cells adapt. Sixteen adults with glioblastoma will follow the diet alongside their standard radiation and chemotherapy to see if it slows tumor growth or reduces tumor size.
