I do a high fat, intermittent fasting, paleo diet in which I'm often in ketosis in part to reduce my cancer risk.

This book is a great resource: The Perfect Health Diet

Does that book reference any additional studies not mentioned in notsonewuser's post or otherwise contain more evidence pertaining to the relationship (or non-relationship) between ketogenic diets and cancer risk?

You can browse the Perfect Health Diet website -- there is a LOT of information right there including tons of citations, a useful blog, and somewhat useful forums. The website should be enough to allow you to decide whether it makes sense for you to dive into the book or not.

Thanks.

It has a huge number of citations, but I'm not sure if any meet your criteria. The book has lots of theory on the costs and benefits of a ketogenic diet.
