Case report: Resolution of malignant canine mast cell tumor using ketogenic metabolic therapy alone.

This is the first report of a malignant cutaneous mast cell tumor in a dog treated with KMT alone. The resolution of the tumor in this canine patient could have been due to the diet-induced energy stress and the restriction of glucose-driven aerobic fermentation that is essential for the growth of most malignant tumors. Further studies are needed to determine if this non-toxic dietary therapeutic strategy could be effective in managing other canine patients with malignant mast cell tumors.
