Cancer Chemoprevention With Nuts

Cancer chemoprevention with nuts.

It is well established that increased nut consumption is associated with a reduced risk of major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, the association between nut consumption and cancer mortality is less clear. Recent studies have suggested that nut consumption is associated with reduced cancer mortality. This evidence reinforces the i...

Chemoprevention of Skin Cancer with Dietary Phytochemicals

Chemoprevention of bladder cancer.

There is a growing body of basic science and epidemiologic evidence to support a research thrust to determine whether several natural or synthetic agents, given alone or together, can lower cancer incidence. Candidate agents include analogs of vitamin A and the vitamin A precursor, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, and the trace metal selenium. Other agents now being studied in the laboratory in...

Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a very heterogeneous disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and consequences. Indeed, if microscopic foci of adenocarcinoma can be found in the prostate of many men, only a minority will progress to clinically relevant, symptomatic, or potentially lethal disease. This explains the striking difference between the incidence of PCa and its mortality rate. I...
