Nutrition plays an important role in preventing disease. Nutrition and Cancer Prevention presents an analysis of specific dietary components that may offer protection from common cancers. The book organizes dietary components into the general classes of vitamins, minerals, phytoesterols, polyphenols, isothiocyanates, saponins, and specialized lipids. With research derived from epidemiological, experimental, and clinical studies, this text provides detailed coverage of those dietary components that have shown potential either in protection from cancer, in modulation of cancer development, or in the reduction of tumor metastasis.
