Summary
This study tested whether a strict, low-calorie ketogenic diet could help people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The diet aims to lower blood sugar and raise ketone levels, which may slow tumor growth. Sixteen adults who had already tried standard treatments took part, and researchers used MRI scans to track changes in tumor size.
