Can the meat & fat allowed on a low-carb diet increase the risk of cancer?

This was a great concern to me when starting the Keto diet.
Here's a short summary answering this important question.

The World Health Organization classified red meat as “probably” carcinogenic. However, the WHO relied almost exclusively on epidemiology studies and included only three randomized controlled trials in humans, a much stronger level of evidence. This is a crucial point to make since randomized controlled trials show no association between red meat and cancer risk.18

There is also a lack of association between fat intake and breast cancer. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), the largest randomized trial to address this issue, found no association between increased fat intake and increased risk of breast cancer. 20

 Also, a meta-analysis of seven prospective studies including 337,000 women likewise showed no association between fat intake and breast cancer risk.21

We are grateful to those medical professionals for providing us with clear information, so we can "Keto on" and make informed decisions!
