Summary

This study looks at whether a ketogenic (low-carb, high-fat) diet helps rectal cancer patients follow their diet plan during chemoradiation. About 194 people will be split into two groups: one gets a personalized keto diet, the other gets standard nutrition advice. The main goal is to see how well patients stick to the diet and how it affects their body fat and muscle.
