Moderate calorie consumption increases the effectiveness of chemotherapy. This is one of the conclusions of a Portuguese-Brazilian study by the RISE Health Research Unit in association with the Federal University of Piauí, in Brazil, which sought to understand the impact of calorie restriction on the treatment of sarcomas, a rare type of cancer.
The study wasreleased on World Cancer Day, 4 February, a date promoted by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) to raise awareness of the importance of prevention, early diagnosis and access to effective treatments.
