Food and Cancer Research

Food and cancer research studies how different foods and dietary patterns affect cancer risk, prevention, and treatment. Certain foods contain compounds that may help protect cells, combat inflammation, or reduce tumor growth, while others may increase risks. For example, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is often associated with lower cancer risk, while processed meats may be linked to higher risk. Researchers aim to understand these relationships to provide better dietary guidelines and recommendations for cancer prevention and management, emphasizing the role of nutrition in overall health.
