First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether eating a low-sugar, high-fat (ketogenic) diet for 7 days before a PET scan can improve detection of a slow-growing lung cancer called lepidic-predominant adenocarcinoma. About 30 adults with a suspicious lung nodule will follow the diet and then have a PET scan. The goal is to see if the diet reduces false-negative results and makes the scan more reliable.
