Nutrients in Cancer Prevention and Treatment contains articles that
were presented by leading researchers and physicians in the field
of nutritional oncology. Most of the previous conference
proceedings on Nutrition and Cancer have dealt primarily with the
issue of the role of nutrients in cancer prevention. This is
logical because enormous quantities of laboratory and epi
demiologic data have been published on the topic. Nutrients in
Cancer Prevention and Treatment also contains several studies on
the role of diet and vitamins in cancer treat ment. There are very
few books that have reviewed laboratory and clinical studies and
the role of vitamins in cancer treatment. There are preliminary
data suggesting that daily supplementa tion with high doses of
certain vitamins in combination with conventional therapeutic
agents may enhance their growth inhibitory effects on tumor cells,
and may protect normal tissues against some of their toxic effects.
This book is unique in the sense that several articles have
discussed the mechanisms of action of individual vitamins on
cellular and molecular parameters. It is very exciting to note that
some of the vitamins inhibit protein kinase C activity, increase
the production of certain growth factors, and modulate the
expression of a number of oncogenes. These studies, at least in
part, offer rationales for the cancer protective effects of
vitamins.
