Nutritional Oncology: Nutrition in Cancer Prevention, Treatment, and Survivorship presents evidence-based approaches to the study and application of nutrition in all phases of cancer including prevention, treatment, and survivorship.There is a long history of interest in the role of nutrition in cancer but only in the last 50 years has this interdisciplinary field developed scientific evidence from a combination of population studies, basic research, and clinical studies. Precision oncology, targeted therapies and immunonutrition have led to advances in cancer treatment and prevention. Highlighting insights from Precision Oncology and Precision Nutrition to improve cancer prevention, treatment and survival is the core mission of this book. The editors have over 40 years of clinical and research experience integrating science with practical advice based on available evidence for healthcare professionals while highlighting research vistas for the scientific community.Features:Comprehensive treatment of all aspects of nutrition and cancer, including prevention, response to treatment, avoidance of relapse and promotion of quality of life for cancer survivors.Examines alternative medicines and botanical dietary supplements and identifies hypotheses for future research based on science.This book is written for doctors, dietitians, and other health care professional advising cancer patients, cancer survivors and the general public.

Precision Nutrition: The Science and Promise of Personalized Nutrition and Health organizes and integrates information on the diverse special areas of scientific expertise involved in Precision Nutrition in order to inform health professionals and inspire researchers to advance this field while applying the general principles into health care and medical research now.

Broken into three sections, this book addresses the fundamentals of precision nutrition, applications of precision nutrition in health and disease, and the future directions of precision nutrition.

Nutrition scientists, geneticists, physicians, dietitians, postdoctoral fellows, and epidemiologists seeking to understand Precision Nutrition will benefit from this timely reference.

. Applies precision nutrition to diet and lifestyle conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer Identifies future aspects of precision nutrition utilizing AI, machine learning and superfast computers Outlines promising areas of research

This book contains the necessary knowledge and tools to incorporate nutrition into primary care practice. As a practical matter, this effort is led by a dedicated primary care physician with the help of motivated registered dietitians, nurses, psychologists, physical therapists, and office staff whether within a known practice or by referral to the community. It is essential that the nutrition prescription provided by the physician be as efficient as possible. While many team members have superior knowledge in the areas of nutrition, exercise, and psychology, the health practitioner remains the focus of patient confidence in a therapy plan. Therefore, the endorsement of the plan rather than the implementation of the plan is the most important task of the physician.This book proposes a significant change in attitude of primary health care providers in terms of the power of nutrition in prevention and treatment of common disease. It features detailed and referenced information on the role of nutrition in the most common conditions encountered in primary care practice. In the past, treatment focused primarily on drugs and surgery for the treatment of disease with nutrition as an afterthought. Advanced technologies and drugs are effective for the treatment of acute disease, but many of the most common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are not preventable with drugs and surgery. While there is mention of prevention of heart disease, this largely relates to the use of statins with some modest discussion of a healthy diet. Similarly, prevention of type 2 diabetes is the early introduction of metformin or intensive insulin therapy.
