Fasting primes the immune system's natural killer cells to better fight cancer, new study in mice finds.
Fasting and other dietary regimens are increasingly being explored as ways to starve cancer cells of nutrients they need to grow and to make cancer treatments more effective.
The findings could help explain one of the mechanisms by which fasting may help the body defend against cancer.
NK cells might be able to be put into a fasted state outside of the body.
At present, more clinical data is still needed about the effects of fasting for people with cancer.
"There are many different types of fasting, and some might be helpful while others might be harmful," says Neil Iyengar , MD .
