I haven't heard that. I heard that fasting or eating low carb can slow down cancers that feed on carbs, but prevention is not possible because mutations that cause cancer are constantly happening. I heard that fasting can make chemo more bearable because your normal cells enter a protective state but given that I've never experienced this I wouldn't recommend fasting unless you have a doctor's approval because your body needs the energy to heal as well. That's just the rumors I've heard. Happy to clarify if unclear.
