I am in need of some peer-reviewed articles/papers on how a ketogenic diet affects cancer from a nutritional standpoint.

I have to do a small research paper on the this and was wondering if the PaleoHacks community could help me find some papers on the subject.

Thanks to everyone for the help! It is much appreciated.

Do your own research!!! But, use the right tools -- GOOGLE Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/

You will find all you need, very easily, without any junk returns.

Ok, cause I am so nice, try searching with "seyfried" in the author field (of the advanced search function).

Are you already familiar with Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried? His research is on the effects of caloric restriction and ketogenic diet on epilepsy/brain cancer. I didn't read his papers, but I came across his name in interviews with Jimmy Moore

and Robb Wolf

I'm sure your research paper deadline has come and gone, lol, but here's a new paper on a pilot study done on 10 patients:
