A new study suggests that a high-fiber, plant-based diet may help prevent the progression of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to multiple myeloma, a common form of blood cancer. Conducted on 20 MGUS patients, the research found that dietary changes led to weight loss, improved insulin resistance, and a healthier gut microbiome, all contributing to a slowdown in disease progression. The findings, presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting, highlight the potential of nutrition in cancer prevention, with a larger study planned to further explore these results.
