Ketogenic diet in cancer therapy

Photodynamic therapy influence on anti-cancer immunity

The system of partial differential equations describing tumor-immune dynamics with angiogenesis taken into account is presented. For spatially homogeneous case, the steady state analysis of the model is carried out. The effects of single photodynamic impact are numerically simulated. In the case of strong immune response we found that the photodynamic therapy (PDT) gives rise to the substantial...

Influence of Probiotic bacteria on anemia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy

Experimental evidence suggests that probiotics might have beneficial effect on the toxicity of anticancer therapy. In this study, the Double Blind Clinical trial was used to collect information and data. Participants were randomly divided into two experimental groups (probiotic) and a control group (placebo) after obtaining the consent of the company. At the start of the study, during a meeting...

The influence of diet on anti-cancer immune responsiveness

Immunotherapy has matured into standard treatment for several cancers, but much remains to be done to extend the reach of its effectiveness particularly to cancers that are resistant within each indication. This review proposes that nutrition can affect and potentially enhance the immune response against cancer. The general mechanisms that link nutritional principles to immune function and may ...

Influence of diet on occult blood tests.

There is a dearth of experiment on the human subject. Test-tube experiments on foodstuffs are helpful, but are not sufficient to allow of dogmatic statements about their dietary influences. To advise an unrestricted diet and give significance only to strongly positive reactions is an approach with a superficial appeal (Ratnoff, 1923; Alvarez and Wight, 192); Levin and Watt, 1949; Needham and Si...
