Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Can prolonged fasting alone treat or cure cancer?

Challenges

ESPEN's 2021 nutrition-in-cancer guidance advises against energy-restrictive diets in patients with or at risk of malnutrition; it finds no diet shown to reproducibly cure cancer and no established benefit justifying routine fasting during anticancer treatment.
