Nutrition and Cancer Prevention: From Molecular Mechanisms to Dietary Recommendations (ISSN) 1st Edition
Cancer is a major global public health problem. Among different environmental and lifestyle factors contributing to cancer risk, diet is a key one. Written by an influential, international team of experts, this book presents and discusses current topics on nutrition and cancer prevention. It covers both nutritional influences on different cancers plus specific chapters on the commonly occurring cancers. Nutritional genomics-based studies show that some dietary components modulate carcinogenesis through complex cellular and molecular mechanisms. A better understanding of these different mechanisms is needed to establish more efficient dietary recommendations for cancer prevention. This book will provide such an understanding, serving as an important book for all those working in nutritional health, food science and cancer research.
