* The unrestricted diet combined with [[Omega 3]] and [[MCT]] delayed the growth of implanted gastric cancer cells in mice<ref name="Otto-2008"/>.
* The ketogenic diet may need to be combined with calorie restriction to ensure lowered glucose levels for the treatment of brain tumors<ref name="Seyfried-2008"/>. A study that compared an unrestricted standard diet, an unrestricted ketogenic diet and a restricted ketogenic diet in mice with implanted brain tumors, only the restricted ketogenic diet improved survival rates<ref name="Zhou-2007"/>.
* Short term fasting can improve the survival rates for mice with implanted brain tumors, and this benefit can enhance both chemotherapy and radiation treatment<ref name="Safdie-2012"/>.
* Drugs are being developed for cancer treatment that target metabolic pathways<ref name="Tennant-2010"/>.
* Giving a no-carbohydrate ketogenic diet to rats with grafted prostate cancer tumors resulted in a 33% smaller tumor size than controls fed a western diet<ref name="Freedland-2008"/>. In another study, rats with grafted prostate cancer tumors given 0%, 10% or 20% carbohydrate had similar survival rates<ref name="Masko-2010"/>.
