Dietary fats, lipids, hormones, and tumorigenesis

Reviews evidence that dietary fats, lipids, and hormones may play an important role in several common forms of cancer, in the hope that an improved understanding of these factors may lead to new strategies for prevention and treatment based on slowing the disease progression, and stimulate increased research into the link between nutrition and cancer. Among the topics are stromal- epithelial cell interactions in breast cancer, the metabolism of exogenous and endogenous arachidonic acid in cancer, lipid biomarkers of adherence to low fat diets, and nutritional approaches to the prevention of prostate cancer progression.
