Abstract: A bibliographic review was performed in order to investigate nutritional interventions having a role in cancer progression in humans or in patients¿ responsiveness to the oncological therapy. Nineteen papers were identified on ketogenic diet or caloric restriction or fasting. And 23 papers were identified on dietary patterns, food supplements or specific foods. Main results: Ketogenic diet (KD) exerts different effects and its¿ tolerability seems to depend on the cancer type. No consensual protocol is in place to implement a KD in cancer patients. Fasting or caloric restriction is helpful to reduce hematological toxicities due to chemotherapy, but there¿s no guideline to implement such kind of dietary intervention in cancer patients either. In prostate cancer patients it seems to be prudent to limit to <3 portions per week of whole milk, poultry with skin and whole eggs in order to reduce the mortality risk. In breast cancer, a healthy balanced diet plenty of vegetables and fruits and maintaining a healthy body weight is also highly recommended since current evidence shows the effects of such strategies on epigenetic changes and some molecular pathways such as MAPK. A high intake of lignans or cruciferous vegetables is also related with a reduced risk of mortality and should be included as part of dietary habits in breast cancer survivors. Some specific foods like black raspberry seem promising, but further studies are needed to confirm current findings.
