Description

The first edition of Nutritional Oncology defined an emerging area. Diet has been implicated both in preventing and treating cancers of all types. Nutritional oncology seeks to modify the environmental factors influencing the genetic changes of cancer and their expression at every stage of carcinogenesis, from initiation of the cancer cell to its metastatic spread to other areas of the body. This new edition expands on the principles of nutritional oncology, the methods of clinical and nutritional assessment, the fields of nutritional intervention and chemoprevention, and the treatment of the malnourished patient. The principles to the growing edge of research are comprehensively covered by the leading researchers in the field.
