The autophagic network is important for cancer initiation, progression, and response to therapy. What activates the autophagy?. Is there a relation between the daily fasting of 8-12 hours and autophagy in cancer treatment?

There is many source of evidence that suggests fasting and caloric restriction in cancer therapy and prevention.

The relationship between healthy eating and lifestyle on the one hand and the prevention of cancer from the other side is well known. Where is the place of autophage? To stimulate or suppress autophagy? This issue attracts more and more the attention of specialists. In my opinion finding the right answer requires serious research. The role of autophagy in carcinogenesis is quite complex and often contradictory. And it is not clarified yet. Autophagy helps cancer cells survive stress. At the same time, the antitumor immune response often requires a normal autophagy.
