Investigation
Can prolonged fasting alone treat or cure cancer?
Qualifies
Positive randomized human signals come from fasting-mimicking diet used with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which cannot establish monotherapy efficacy.

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
Does fasting alongside cancer treatment slow tumor growth or progression?
Supports
A randomized breast-cancer trial did not improve its main chemotherapy-toxicity outcome or complete tissue response, although a secondary scan-based tumor response favored the fasting-like diet.
