Metabolic cancer links

From Sterbal's Sundry Studies

Here are some links about metabolic cancer:

Mitochondria: The ketogenic diet--A metabolism-based therapy.[edit]

"there is increasing evidence that the ketogenic diet may also be beneficial as an adjuvant cancer therapy by potentiating the antitumor effect of chemotherapy and radiation treatment."

Roles of caloric restriction, ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting during initiation, progression and metastasis of cancer in animal models: a systematic review and meta-analysis.[edit]

"CONCLUSIONS: Caloric restriction and ketogenic diet are effective against cancer in animal experiments while the role of intermittent fasting is doubtful and still needs exploration. More clinical experiments are needed and more suitable patterns for humans should be investigated."

Ketogenic diets: an update for child neurologists.[edit]

"The ketogenic diet, modified Atkins diet, and low-glycemic-index treatment have all emerged over the past decade as important therapeutic options for children with intractable epilepsy. " ... "Researchers are also highly interested in using diets for neurologic disorders other than epilepsy, including autism and brain tumors. This review will update child neurologists on the recent advances in the use of ketogenic diets."

Targeting insulin inhibition as a metabolic therapy in advanced cancer: a pilot safety and feasibility dietary trial in 10 patients.[edit]

"Further study is needed to assess insulin inhibition as complementary to standard cytotoxic and endocrine therapies."

Selectively starving cancer cells through dietary manipulation: methods and clinical implications.[edit]

"Despite the abundance of preclinical data demonstrating the benefit of dietary modification for cancer, to date there are few clinical trials targeting diet as an intervention for cancer patients."

Ketogenic diets as an adjuvant cancer therapy: History and potential mechanism[edit]

"These preclinical studies have provided the impetus for extending the use of ketogenic diets into phase I clinical trials that are currently ongoing."

Ketogenic diets enhance oxidative stress and radio-chemo-therapy responses in lung cancer xenografts.[edit]

"These results show that a ketogenic diet enhances radio-chemo-therapy responses in lung cancer xenografts by a mechanism that may involve increased oxidative stress."

Ketogenic diets: from cancer to mitochondrial diseases and beyond.[edit]

"ketogenic diets can be a good option as a co-adjuvant therapy, depending on the situation and the extent of the disease."

Beyond weight loss: a review of the therapeutic uses of very-low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diets.[edit]

"The present review also questions whether there are still some preconceived ideas about ketogenic diets, which may be presenting unnecessary barriers to their use as therapeutic tools in the physician's hand."
