Abstract
Cancer results due to an imbalance between regulation of cell
proliferation and apoptosis. As per the latest data released by World Health
Organization (WHO), a large part of global population cannot access proper anticancer therapy, and this imposes a burden of approximately US$ 1.16 trillion on
global economy. Relevant studies were identified through electronic searches of
Pubmed, Medline, Scopus, Google scholar. In this review, we found that there is
extensive range of dietary items whose components can influence either cell
proliferation rate or cell death rate or both. Exclusion and avoidance of several
dietary items/habits are linked with reduced risk of several types of cancer. In
addition, many dietary items have been proven beneficial for minimizing the risk of
various cancers and slow down their progression. More extensive clinical studies are
required for establishing quantitative facts about dose-response relationship.
