Summary
This study looked at whether a modified Atkins-based diet combined with short-term fasting is possible for people with glioblastoma, a serious brain cancer. Twenty-five patients who had already completed standard treatment tried the diet for 8 weeks. The goal was to see if they could stick with it and if it would change certain brain chemicals linked to tumor growth.
