Abstract Background Mounting evidence supports the health benefits of intermittent fasting (IF) in general. This study evaluates its impact on patients with gynecological or breast cancer specifically. Methods A thorough search for studies comparing IF with either nonintervention diets or calorie restriction (CR) in patients with either gynecological or breast cancer and published prior to October 5, 2024 was carried out on the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases (CBM). Extracted data included but not limited to body mass index (BMI), body weight, waist circumference (WC), fasting glucose, insulin levels, chemotherapy-related toxicity, and subjective perceptions. Results A total of 625 subjects were included across 7 randomized controlled trials, and 2 nonrandomized trials. Meta-analysis revealed that IF significantly reduced body weight (Effect Size [ES]: -0.611; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: -0.886 to -0.356; p |
