THE KETO CODE: A Comprehensive Guide to Keto Oncology

In the past few years, the ketogenic diet evolved into a popular diet for weight loss and, in many cases, is touted as a medical cure-all. While an overstatement, the benefits of a ketogenic diet deserve some serious attention. In this book, Dr. Tan commands our attention to do just that. She unravels the keto code, going beyond the fundamental revelation of a ketogenic diet by uncovering and clarifying the underlying mechanisms for its anti-cancer benefits.

Waging the war on cancer has traditionally meant adopting several approaches, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. For some patients, receiving a cure is possible, but treatment for many is about mitigating suffering in advanced-stage cancers. As a clinical medical oncologist, Dr. Tan witnessed many early-stage cancers relapse after treatment and later evolve into aggressive and chemotherapy-resistant cases. On the other hand, she also has observed many complete and durable remissions in far advanced cancer cases. Behind the success, the data welcomes the possibility of healing by a reversal of metabolic processes with a ketogenic diet. After investing the last decade in research on the role of diet in cancer patient remissions, Dr. Tan provides us with this never-before keto oncology guide. This work summarizes the current knowledge, future research, and potential benefits of metabolic therapy in cancer management.

With the keto code, cancer patients become better equipped to defy the law of curability by optimizing their metabolism through a change in lifestyle and diet. At the same time, clinicians are encouraged to keep an open mind and support future clinical research in this area.

Editorials
