NCT ID NCT03285152

Summary

This study is testing whether a very low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet is safe and tolerable for overweight or obese patients newly diagnosed with endometrial (uterine) cancer before they have surgery. Researchers want to see if patients can stick to the diet and what effects it has on the body's metabolism and tumor tissue. The goal is to gather information to see if this dietary approach should be studied further as a possible part of cancer treatment.
