Description
Nutritional oncology is an increasingly active interdisciplinary field where cancer is investigated as both a systemic and local disease
originating with the changes in the genome and progressing through a multi-step process which may be influenced at many points in its
natural history by nutritional factors that could impact the prevention of cancer, the quality of life of cancer patients, and the risk
of cancer recurrence in the rapidly increasing population of cancer survivors.
Since the first edition of this book was published in
1999, the idea that there is a single gene pathway or single drug will provide a cure for cancer has given way to the general view that
dietary/environmental factors impact the progression of genetic and cellular changes in common forms of cancer. This broad concept can
now be investigated within a basic and clinical research context for specific types of cancer. This book attempts to cover the current
available knowledge in this new field of nutritional oncology written by invited experts. This book attempts to provide not only the
theoretical and research basis for nutritional oncology, but will offer the medical oncologist and other members of multidisciplinary
groups treating cancer patients practical information on nutrition assessment and nutritional regimens, including micronutrient and phytochemical
supplementation. The editors hope that this volume will stimulate increased research, education and patient application of the principles
of nutritional oncology.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
* Covers hot new topics of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics in cancer cell growth
* Includes
new chapters on metabolic networks in cancer cell growth, nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics
* Presents substantially revised chapters on
breast cancer and nutrition, prostate cancer and nutrition, and colon cancer and nutrition
* Includes new illustrations throughout the
text, especially in the breast cancer chapter
Audience
Researchers and graduate students in both nutrition and oncology investigating the intersection of these areas and the impact of nutrition both in prevention and therapeutics.
