The sixth annual research conference of the American Institute for
Cancer Research was held August 31 and September 1, 1995, at the
Loews L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washing ton, DC. In view of the
promising leads in the diet/nutrition and cancer research field,
the conference was devoted to "Dietary Phytochemicals in Cancer
Prevention and Treatment. " The number of sessions was increased
over that in previous conferences in order to accommodate the
topics of interest. The conference overview, entitled "Plants and
Cancer: Food, Fiber, and Phytochemicals," provided a framework for
the following sessions. In addition, the attendees were reminded
that for several decades epidemiologists have noted a lower risk of
lung, esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer in populations
consuming diets high in fruits and vegetables. However, isolation
and ingestion of individual protective factors are not the
preferred action since the complexity of the food and the matrix in
which nutritional factors are embedded are important. The
individual sessions then provided more insight as to why eating
fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of cancer.
The first of these sessions was on "Isothiocyanates" that induce
both the Phase I and Phase II enzymes that increase detoxification
and conjugation reactions, thus causing more rapid removal of any
xenobiotic or carcinogen. Thus, less carcinogen is available for
interaction with DNA or other critical cellular macromolecules."
