Cancer is a significant public health issue, being the second leading cause of death globally, with about 20% of cases linked to lifestyle factors like diet and inactivity.
Individual cancers have complex causes, involving genetics and making the study of their nutrition-related aspects challenging; personalized nutrition may be crucial for prevention and management.
Vegetation of dietary patterns after a cancer diagnosis, including fasting and carb restriction, could enhance traditional treatments and improve survival rates, as highlighted by the 2017 American College of Nutrition meeting focused on personalized nutrition's role in cancer.
