Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) is an unproven alternative cancer treatment using insulin as an adjunct to low-dose chemotherapy . It was promoted by a paper in the controversial and non- peer reviewed journal Medical Hypotheses . It is not an evidence-based cancer treatment, and the costs of IPT are not covered by health insurance.

780-481: The proven multi-drug chemotherapy regimens.) The immediate risk is hypoglycemia . The main risk is that the person will die from cancer because IPT does not work. The use of lower than normal doses of chemotherapy can cause drug resistance , which could make future treatment at standard, proven doses ineffective. For some cancers, especially breast and colon cancers, insulin may promote tumor growth. Two main ideas about how it might work have been proposed over
810-445: The years. The first idea, which has been proven wrong, is that insulin makes cells more permeable, so that the chemotherapy drugs are absorbed faster into cells. The other idea is that insulin might cause the cells to start dividing, which makes them more susceptible to destruction of many cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs.
