Nutritional Interventions and Cancer or Preinvasive Lesions
Dietary modifications and supplements are used widely as an adjunct to standard treatment by patients with cancer or preinvasive lesions. Davies et al. (p. 961) conducted a review of randomized controlled trials of nutritional interventions to examine benefits and harms in such patients. They identified 59 eligible trials; trial quality was generally low. Mortality, cancer recurrence, and other outcomes were not associated with weight loss, exercise, or a healthy dietalone or with dietary supplements. There was thus no evidence that dietary changes by cancer patients improve survival or benefit disease prognosis.
