This study investigates a high-fibre dietary intervention for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smouldering myeloma, aiming to delay disease progression.
Involving 20 patients, the pilot study achieves a 7-8% weight loss and maintains dietary adherence for over a year.
Biomarker analysis shows metabolic improvements and positive immune function changes.
