Abstract: The ketogenic diet (KD) has made a breakthrough in the treatment of glioma and has become
a research hotspot because of its unique dietary structure, particularly as an auxiliary strategy
for anti-tumor. This article reviews the application and mechanism of KD combined with other antitumor
methods, such as chemoradiotherapy, immunotherapy, molecularly targeted drugs, antiangiogenic
drugs, glucose-targeted drugs, hyperbaric oxygen, ketone bodies, and intestinal flora, aiming
to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of KD.
