The complete mapping of the human genome, along with the
development of sophisticated molecular technologies, has
accelerated research on the relationship between nutrients and
genes. This has led to compelling evidence garnered from
epidemiological and experimental observations supporting the idea
that the interaction between nutrients and genes is one of the most
important mechanisms influencing carcinogenesis. Nutrient-Gene
Interactions in Cancer brings together leading authorities in the
field who provide an overview and look specifically at the
mechanisms known to underlie each nutrient and gene interaction.
The book examines the multi-functional relationship linking
nutrition and cancer development, including the complex role
nutrients have in modulating cancer growth via interactions with
specific genes, and the emerging new strategy for cancer
chemoprevention that is based on a deepened understanding of this
relationship. The authors also provide freshly illuminating
information on many well-known interactions. The first part of the
book includes chapters on the basic elements of biology and
pathobiology of gene-nutrient interactions with a focus on
mechanisms and biomarkers. This is followed by chapters, which
detail specific gene-nutrient interactions, offering numerous
examples supported by recent investigations. The final chapter
looks to the future, considering the potential for further
investigation by outlining new perspectives in this rapidly growing
area of medical science. While this work is especially valuable to
science investigators, it will also be of great interest to
clinicians who manage cancer patients, in that it presents useful
tools that advance the clinical value of gene-nutrient interaction
research in medical nutrition and oncology.
