An estimated 12.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer every year and 7.6 million people die of the disease annually. Numerous lines of evidence suggest that lifestyle and nutrition play an important role in cancer development. As for nutrition, diets that are rich in fruits…
Lifestyle and nutrition play an important role in cancer development. As for nutrition, diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables have been shown to lower the risk of cancer incidence. In addition, several phytochemicals that are present in fruits and vegetables have been sci…

fromRecent results in cancer research
This book presents a comprehensive update of the latest findings in oncogenetics. It also investigates the relevance of preclinical models with respect to clinical cancer prevention (primary and secondary) for major cancer types such as breast, skin, lung, prostate and colon can…
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as sulindac sulfide (SS) have shown promising antineoplastic activity in multiple tumor types, but toxicities resulting from cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition limit their use in cancer prevention. We recently described a N,N-dimet…
There are various methods used to treat cancer including the use of natural compounds. This paper describes the investigation of the cytotoxic effects of the plant Senna’s secondary compounds when exposed to different types of cancer cells. Cassia angustifolia (senna) is a nativ…
Breast cancer affects more women than any other cancer and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among this group. Despite progress in our understanding of breast cancer risks and treatment improvements, there remain considerable knowledge gaps. The studies contained here…
