Didactics-Dietary Interventions in Endometrial Cancer Treatment

Dietary Interventions in Endometrial Cancer Treatment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the link between obesity and endometrial cancer, highlighting the increased risk and mortality rates for obese women. It delves into the molecular mechanisms underlying this connection, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances. The potential benefits of dietary interventions, specifically chronic and intermittent energy restriction, in managing endometrial cancer are explored. The study on switching to an intermittent energy restriction diet shows promising results in reducing tumor size and incidence, as well as reversing the metabolic effects of obesity. The combination of intermittent energy restriction with PD-1 inhibitors is suggested as a potential innovative therapeutic approach for endometrial cancer.
