Oncologist Explores Whether Including Fiber in Diets Boosts Immunotherapy Outcomes
We all know that a diet high in fiber is good for us, with studies suggesting that consuming a high-fiber diet can lower an individual’s risk for some cancers. Now, researchers are looking into whether a high-fiber diet can help patients with cancer fight a cancer diagnosis by boosting immunotherapy effectiveness. Previous research involving melanoma patients already determined that those with diets that were high in fiber responded better to immunotherapy. At the forefront of this latest research is assistant professor Brendan Guercio from the Wilmot Cancer Institute. Guercio has specialized in hematology/oncology and works as a medical oncologist who…
