(Nutraceuticals) 1st Edition
by Sheeba Varghese Gupta (Editor), Yashwant V Pathak (Editor)
Dietary supplements and nutraceuticals such as Vitamin A and D,
Omega-3 and probiotics are used as part of the cancer treatment as
complimenting the main therapy. Several Nutraceuticals have shown to
boost the immune responses, while emerging clinical studies and other
research suggests that some plant-based agents may, indeed, impact
late-stage cancer, influencing molecular processes corrupted by tumor
cells to evade detection, expand clonally, and invade surrounding
tissues.

an attempt to collect evidence and related clinical information of
application of Nutraceuticals to be used in cancer treatment or
compliment the cancer treatment. It contains 16 chapters written by
experts in related field’s and covers many different aspects of the
formulation and development of Nutraceuticals for cancer applications.
