Could a High-Fat diet help fight brain cancer? early trial tests safety

This early-phase study tested whether a 4-month ketogenic diet (a high-fat, low-carb diet) is safe and doable for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, a serious brain cancer. Twenty-one adults followed personalized meal plans while receiving standard radiation and chemotherapy. The main goals were to check for side effects like severe weight loss and to see if participants could maintain ketosis (a metabolic state). This trial does not yet prove the diet helps treat the cancer, but it aims to lay the groundwork for future studies.
