Abstract in brief

  • Fasting before or during chemotherapy may help reduce side effects and improve treatment effectiveness by protecting normal cells and making tumor cells more responsive to drugs.
  • Various types of fasting, including short-term water fasting, intermittent fasting, and caloric restriction, could influence tumor cell behavior and immune responses, possibly enhancing chemotherapy outcomes.
  • Though promising, most evidence comes from animal and lab studies, so more human research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm fasting's benefits in cancer treatment.

El ayuno intermitente (sumado a una nutrición adecuada) en combinación con quimioterapia, podría ser una herramienta con beneficios potenciales para reducir la progresión tumoral y aumentar la efectividad del tratamiento en pacientes con cáncer ✅ https://t.co/d4CYgkMlMw https://t.co/5dY6KBaIXE

@CharismaKings Again, I don't think it's quackery. I just think he and some others get ahead of themselves. This seems pretty on point: https://t.co/4nEWwk0Yy7

@hankgreen Hello, Hank. Have you tried fasting or a fasting-mimicking diet just before and/or during chemo? AYMK, it has been shown to improve chemo's effectiveness on cancer and reduce side effects, so, just in case you might not have tried it, please consider it. https://t.co/I7FkG7L1mu
