Summary

Discusses the role of vitamins in preventing and treating cancer. Investigates vitamins A, E, C, D, and other vitamins and vitamin-like molecules, reviews evidence involving the correlation between vitamins and cancer prevention, and examines how vitamins can be used as deterrents to neoplastic transformation in cells, experimental animals, and humans. Also explores some of the more general trends in nutrition research that may have a future impact on reducing the risk of cancer.
