Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A Ketogenic diet (KD; a diet comprised of 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates) has gained much popularity in recent years, especially regarding neurogliomas (or "gliomas"). This review critically assesses literature on the application of KD throughout the cancer continuum from a Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) perspective. RECENT FINDINGS: 2021 revised classification standards for Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors are available. Despite research on KD and CNS tumors increasing, the role and benefits of MNT to augment side effects of traditional treatment and KD throughout the cancer continuum remain unclear. Glioma cancer survivors may benefit from a KD. It is a challenging, yet feasible non-pharmacological adjuvant approach. More research is needed regarding KD for prevention and post-treatment of glioma. Standard guidelines regarding macronutrient composition of KD for glioma are warranted. The need and benefits of nutritional guidance provided by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD or RDNs) during adherence to KD are understated.

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
