Nutrition and Cancer Prevention

Cancer cells invade surrounding tissues and metabolize to distant sites. Diet high in fat is a strong link and perhaps causes in a high incidence of tumors. Trans-fatty acid might impair the function and it should be involved in the development of cancer. Cholesterol is also strongly suspected to be involved in the development of tumors therefore it is important for everyone to eat well, especially for people with cancer to prevent the body tissues from breaking down and helping to rebuild the normal tissue that may have been affected by the treatments. Factors secreted by adipocytes and macrophages such as TNF-alpha and other inflammatory proteins are involved in inflammation in cancer. In addition, MCSF which up-regulates adipose tissue is also important for the stimulation of fat cell proliferation and is expressed by human adipocytes.
