Plant-based medicines to treat cancer have not been as well-studied as potentially more profitable drugs. Therefore, Bagchi (pharmacy sciences, Creighton U. Medical Center, Omaha, NE) and Preuss (physiology, medicine, and pathology, Georgetown Medical Center) offer a review of the scientific evidence relating to specific phytopharmaceuticals for particular kinds of cancer. Following an introduction to the epidemiology of cancer and implicated genetic and environmental factors, chapters aimed at the increasing number of patients seeking natural therapies as well as scientists and clinicians discuss the chemoprotective role of foods and supplements (e.g., various vitamins, spices, berries, tea, maitake mushrooms). The volume concludes with two commentaries on whether antioxidants can help prevent or treat cancer. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book focuses on the role of natural supplements in cancer prevention and therapy. The first section covers cancer epidemiology, cancer statistics and current therapies and potential toxicities involved with existing cancer drugs. The second section discusses the pathophysiology of cancer including mechanistic and molecular aspects of cancer biology, etiology of breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, tobacco and cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancers and various risk factors related to obesity, exercise and aging. The third section covers phytopharmaceuticals and focuses on cancer health risk factors and the protective abilities of the various natural products.
