Fasting Mimicking Diet in Cancer Treatment
This chapter explores the potential benefits of the fasting mimicking diet (FMD) when combined with traditional cancer therapies, particularly in advanced stages of cancer. It presents key studies indicating improved survival rates and treatment responses, especially in aggressive cancers like triple-negative breast cancer, while emphasizing the importance of caution and individualization in treatment approaches. Additionally, the chapter discusses the mechanisms by which FMD can selectively target cancer cells, the significance of ongoing research, and the evolving role of dietary strategies in cancer management.
