Food and Cancer cover

This book examines dietary intervention and oncogenesis addressing foundational principles, epidemiological insights, and molecular mechanisms of nutritional modulators in cellular homeostasis. It covers chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis, nutritional epigenetics, and dietary influences on gene expression and genome stability. The book studies immune surveillance, metabolic reprogramming in cancer, dietary modulation of tumor bioenergetics, and the gut microbiome-host axis in cancer etiology, and also

  • Provides comprehensive coverage of dietary intervention and oncogenesis addressing foundational principles, epidemiological insights into dietary patterns and cancer incidence, and molecular mechanisms of nutritional modulators in cellular homeostasis
  • Examines chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis including dietary regulation of inflammatory pathways, nutritional epigenetics, and dietary influences on gene expression and genome stability in cancer development and prevention
  • Discusses immune surveillance and nutritional immunology in oncology addressing metabolic reprogramming in cancer, dietary modulation of tumor bioenergetics, and the gut microbiome-host axis in cancer etiology and therapy response
  • Addresses ultra-processed foods and cancer risk including mechanistic insights, public health implications, and phytochemicals as chemopreventive agents with emphasis on mechanisms of action and clinical applications
  • Covers clinical nutritional support in oncological treatment including post-treatment nutritional strategies for recurrence prevention and survivorship, and precision nutrition approaches based on genetic and lifestyle factors

"The book is thoughtfully structured, beginning with foundational principles of dietary intervention and tumour biology, and advancing through epidemiological insights, molecular mechanisms, inflammatory regulation, immune surveillance, metabolic reprogramming, and the gut microbiome–host interface. Each chapter synthesizes contemporary research with conceptual precision, enabling a clear understanding of how nutrients, dietary patterns, ultra-processed foods, and bioactive compounds influence cellular signalling pathways, genomic stability, oxidative stress, and tumour progression.
A distinguishing strength of the work lies in its interdisciplinary integration. The editors and contributors effectively bridge nutritional science, biochemistry, immunology, and oncology, presenting a cohesive narrative that connects population-level data with mechanistic cellular processes. The discussion remains scientifically balanced, avoiding reductionist claims while emphasizing biological complexity, dose-response relationships, and inter-individual variability. Importantly, the clinical chapters addressing nutritional support during treatment, survivorship strategies, dietary supplementation, and precision nutrition extend the book’s relevance beyond theory into applied oncological practice."
