Nutritional Oncology

Informationen zum Autor Dr. Heber is Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Public Health at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He is also the Founding Director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and founding Chief of the Division of Clinical Nutrition in the UCLA Department of Medicine. He has directed interdisciplinary research centers on Cancer and Nutrition and Botanical Dietary Supplements. Dr. Heber is board-certified in Internal Medicine, and Endocrinology and Metabolism by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a certified Physician Nutrition Specialist. He earned his MD at Harvard Medical School, and his Ph.D. in Physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has published over 250 research papers, and is a fellow of the American Society for Nutrition. Dr. Heber's research centers on the role of nutrition, phytonutrients, and botanical dietary supplements in gene-nutrient interaction, and modulation of the microbiome. Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA; Associate Director, UCLA-NIH Clinical Nutrition Research Unit Klappentext Since the first edition of this text in 1999! the idea that there is a single gene pathway or single drug will provide a cure for cancer has given way to the general view that dietary/environmental factors impact the progression of genetic and cellular changes in common forms of cancer. This broad concept can now be investigated within a basic and clinical research context for specific types of cancer. This book attempts to cover the current available knowledge in this new field of Nutritional Oncology written by invited experts. This book attempts to provide not only the theoretical and research basis for nutritional oncology! but will offer the medical oncologist and other members of multidisciplinary groups treating cancer patients practical information on nutrition assessment and nutritional regimens! including micronutrient and phytochemical supplementation. The editors hope that this volume will stimulate increased research! education and patient application of the principles of Nutritional Oncology.
