Can keto diet help with radiation and ADT therapy?

Soon I’ll be starting radiation with ADT therapy (I’m 74 years old, in good health, with a 4+3=7 Gleason). Doing some research and thinking very seriously as to going with a keto diet as I am reading that it can potentially enhance the effectiveness of the therapy and potentially reduce the intensity of the side effects. Would like to hear from anyone going through the same…

Thank you for sharing this and for reaching out to the community as radiation and ADT therapy get closer. Questions about keto and diet during prostate cancer treatment are common, but research on whether a keto diet can improve treatment results or ease side effects is still limited, so it is a good topic to bring to your radiation oncologist and a registered dietitian who knows oncology and can look at your full picture. Others in the Prostate Cancer community may share what they have learned about eating during radiation and ADT, and you can also find the Ask Outcomes4Me box by scrolling down the Home Screen of the app to reach clinical care experts.
