Official title
A Pilot Trial of a Low-Carbohydrate Normocaloric Diet, in Patients With Head and Neck Carcinoma (HNC) and Its Effect on Stromal-Epithelial Metabolic Uncoupling
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This pilot clinical trial studies the effects of a low carbohydrate diet on tumor metabolism in patients with head and neck cancer. A low carbohydrate diet may reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissues. Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with head and neck cancer in the laboratory before and after a low carbohydrate diet may help determine any changes in tumor metabolism.
