Breakthrough in Prostate Cancer Treatment: Ketones & Immunotherapy [Video]

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have made a groundbreaking discovery! Combining a pre-ketone supplement from the ketogenic diet with immunotherapy drastically improves prostate cancer treatment. 🎯🧬

Lead researcher Xin Lu and doctoral student Sean Murphy found that this innovative approach not only enhances the effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade therapies but also shows potential in overcoming traditional treatment resistance. The study, published in Cancer Research, used mouse models to demonstrate significant tumor shrinkage and even complete remission in some cases. 🐭💪

The findings reveal that ketones may disrupt cancer cell metabolism, enhancing the body’s immune response and possibly leading to better outcomes in other inflammation and immune dysfunction-related conditions. 🌟

This breakthrough paves the way for clinical trials and could revolutionize prostate cancer therapy.
