The major scientific advancements in the study of nutrition and
cancer in the last six years derive from the extensive use of
molecular approaches to perform research in the nutritional field.
Moreover, the fundamental observation of R. Doll and R. Peto
(1981), which suggested that at least 35% of all cancers (with
large differences among different tumors) might be prevented by
dietary regimens, has been definitively confirmed by
epidemiological studies. The molecular studies reported in this
volume include all of the major aspects of investigation on human
nutrition and malignant transformation. In the last decade a large
number of compounds responsible for the biological activity of
human foods has been identified and characterized. These molecules
not only include important and well-known risk factors but, most
promising, compounds, which might exert chemopreventive activity.
Among them, antioxidants (such as vitamins, phenols, and lycopene)
seem to play a critical role in reducing the risk of cancer at
different anatomical sites, including colon, breast, and prostate
malignancies. Other molecules, derived from fiber bacterial
intestinal degradation (short fatty acids), are of interest, even
if their importance has not been completely unraveled and is still
the subject of debate.
