The Role of Ketogenic Diet in Enhancing Efficacy of Cancer Treatment
The ketogenic diet when properly administered can enhance the efficacy of standard of care for aggressive metastatic cancer and brain tumors, including glioblastoma. Studies show that nutritional ketosis enhances the tumor killing effect of radiation and reduces glycolytic flux through the tumors while impacting their antioxidant status.

Summary
The ketogenic diet may be effective in treating aggressive and metastatic brain cancers like glioblastoma multiforme when administered properly. The diet targets cancer cells that are resistant to traditional treatments and show a diverse array of genetic and metabolic traits that make them harder to treat conventionally.

Summary
The Ketogenic diet can enhance the efficacy of common cancer treatments and reduce side effects. Dr. Adrienne Check's research has shown that the diet enhances radiation therapy's tumor killing effect by reducing glycolytic flux and improving oxidative stress.
