Brief Title: Very Low Carbohydrate Diet Effects to GPS, Serum Lactate and TNF Alpha on Colorectal Cancer
Official Title: Effect of Very Low Carbohydrate Diet to Glasgow Prognostic Score, Serum Lactate and TNF Alpha on Colorectal Cancer Patients With Best Supportive Care
Study ID: NCT03221920
Brief Summary: This study examine the effects of very low carbohydrate diet (in which the calories requirements are mostly from fat) to the level of systemic inflammation (measured by Glasgow Prognostic Score), serum lactate and TNF Alpha levels
Detailed Description: This study examine the effects of very low carbohydrate diet (in which the calories requirements are mostly from fat) to the level of systemic inflammation (measured by Glasgow Prognostic Score), serum lactate and TNF Alpha levels. The subjects are colorectal adenocarcinoma patients who were decided by experts to be managed by best supportive care. These patients are not deemed to be suitable for surgical intervention , chemotherapy or radiotherapy anymore. The main treatment is supportive. We would like to examined the effect of very low carbohydrate diet on these patients, in which theoretically tumtor cells of the colorectal adenocarcinoma needed glucose to replicate and increases the systemic inflammation response.
