Summary
This study tested whether fasting for a longer period each night could help overweight or obese people with early signs of blood cancer (MGUS, smoldering multiple myeloma, or smoldering Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia) lose weight and possibly lower their cancer risk. Twenty-three participants were randomly assigned to either a 4-month prolonged nightly fasting program or a healthy lifestyle control group. The main goal was to see changes in body composition, with secondary focus on blood markers of cancer activity.
