Book synopsis

In Nutrients in Cancer Prevention and Treatment, leading researchers present the most up-to-date findings available on the role of vitamins and diet in both cancer prevention and treatment. Their articles offer new insights into how vitamins act in our bodies and the effects of vitamins on gene regulation. §Highlights include preliminary data showing that high doses of certain vitamins in combination with conventional therapeutic agents may enhance their growth inhibitory effects on tumor cells, and that some vitamins inhibit protein kinase C activity, increase the production of certain growth factors, and modulate the expression of key oncogenes. Several articles illuminate the role of protease inhibitors, calories, exercise, and fat in carcinogenesis.§Nutrients in Cancer Prevention and Treatment is an excellent reference source for those involved in nutrition and cancer research, as well as for those oncologists who are treating and caring for cancer patients. It should stimulate much new research on all the many promising areas of basic and clinical nutritional oncology.
