Khaberni - A recent scientific experiment revealed notable results for dietary supplements in slowing the growth of brain cancer tumors, which opened a new door for scientific discussion about the role of therapeutic nutrition as a potential adjunct to traditional treatments, according to Medical Express, a website specialized in medical research.
According to the report, a team of researchers conducted a laboratory experiment focusing on the effect of specific nutritional compounds in the brain tumor environment. The results showed that these supplements contributed to reducing the activity of cancer cells and weakening their ability to proliferate, especially in highly aggressive tumors such as glioblastoma.
The researchers explained that the mechanism of effect is due to the manipulation of cellular metabolism of the tumor. Brain cancer cells rely heavily on specific energy pathways, and when these pathways are disrupted by well-studied nutritional compounds, the cells become more fragile and less able to sustain.
The report, according to Medical Express, emphasized that these results do not mean that surgery or radiation and chemotherapy treatments can be replaced; however, they represent a complementary approach that might improve treatment response and limit disease progression when integrated into medical supervision regimens.
The researchers stressed that the trials are still in their preclinical stages, and transitioning to human use requires extensive clinical studies to confirm safety and optimal dosages, warning against self-reliance on supplements without medical consultation.
The report noted that this research direction reflects a growing global interest in expanding the tools to combat cancer by combining traditional medicine and a scientific-based dietary approach, which could open new prospects for patients in the future.
