Application of Bayesian evidence synthesis to modelling the effect of ketogenic therapy on survival of high grade glioma patients

Abstract Background Ketogenic therapy in the form of ketogenic diets or calorie restriction has been proposed as a metabolic treatment of high grade glioma (HGG) brain tumors based on mechanistic reasoning obtained mainly from animal experiments. Given the paucity of clinical studies of this relativ...
