Cancer is the most common health problem in today's world. Cancer is a disease that occurs when the cell or its community multiplies abnormally by various environmental or genetic factors. Cancer problems are increasing day by day, especially in the developing world. Cancer, which is an important and serious public health problem, does not have a complete and definitive treatment. Cancer is kept under control with many treatment methods such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical operations. Recently, besides these medical treatments, medical nutrition treatments have come to the fore and there are many studies. One of them is the ketogenic diet that has been used in the treatment of epilepsy patients since the 1920s. Studies have presented that ketogenic diet therapy will be an anticancer element controlling tumor growth in patients with cancer. In the ketogenic diet treatment, successful results have been obtained in many types of cancer, not specific to a single cancer type.

Ketojenik Diyet ve Kanser

Öz

Kanser, günümüz dünyasında en sık karşılaşılan bir sağlık sorunudur. Kanser, hücre veya hücre topluluğunun çeşitli çevresel veya genetik etmenlerle anormal bir şekilde çoğalması durumunda oluşan bir hastalıktır. Özellikle gelişen dünyada kanser sorunları gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Önemli ve ciddi bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan kanserin tam ve kesin bir tedavisi yoktur. Kanser, kemoterapi, radyoterapi, cerrahi operasyonlar gibi birçok tedavi yöntemiyle kontrol altında tutulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Son zamanlarda bu tıbbi tedavilerin yanında tıbbi beslenme tedavileri de ön plana çıkmakta ve birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan biri ise 1920’lerden beri epilepsi hastalarının tedavisinde kullanılan ketojenik diyettir. Ketojenik diyet tedavisinin kanserli hastalarda tümör büyümesini kontrol altına alan bir antikanser öge olacağı çalışmalarda sunulmuştur. Ketojenik diyet tedavisinde tek bir kanser türüne özgü olarak değil birçok kanser türünde başarılı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.
