Abstract

Numerous dietary products have been shown to possess cancer preventive effects, as well as to help recovery of cancer treated patients. The aim of this study is an attempt to summarize relevant data from recent scientific papers concerning the possible role and mechanisms by which certain dietary products can protect against carcinogenesis in normal human cells.In this review of the available scientific literature, we conducted the association between dietary patterns and nutrition trends with the risk and/or treatment of cancer of all sites, through citation tracking identified in PubMed until recent date. “Mediterranean” dietary pattern plays one of the most important roles in cancer prevention as well as the food rich in vitamin B17 and flavonoids. Some patients may try special diets, inorder to improve or to prevent side effects from cancer treatment by using vegetarian, macrobiotic orketogenic diet. Dietary supplements such as: Vitamin C, probiotics, melatonin and glutamine may also be added to improve the symptoms of cancer treatment.Dietary pattern suggested by many authors, plays an important role in prevention of many human cancers and can prevent side effects and nutrition problems caused by chemo/radiotherapy. However, important questions remain unexplained, concerning the mechanisms underlying differences by sex; life-course timing of exposure to dietary patterns; interaction of dietary patterns with the microbiome or with lifestyle factors including physical activity; and elucidation of subsite differences.
