One type of diet could help make cancer treatments more effective, according to a report by Professor Tim Spector's ZOE Nutrition.
Science writer Tim Newman, writing for ZOE, said a recent study from King’s College London, co-led by ZOE’s Scientific Co-Founder Prof.
Tim Spector, focused on advanced melanoma, a type of skin cancer. He said: "They found that patients who followed a Mediterranean diet more closely benefited the most from the cancer treatment.
And gut bacteria seemed to be key. The results of the study appear in JAMA Oncology." The study looked at a form of immunotherapy called immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) which has significantly improved survival times for people with cancer over the last 10 years.
