'This book attempts to summarize the existing evidence regarding mechanisms of action and applications of a broad range of nutraceuticals either for
chemoprophylaxis of solid tumors or as supplements to alleviate chemotherapy-induced toxicities. In addition, two chapters discuss delivery systems utilized for administration of nutraceuticals. One chapter is dedicated to discussion, although rather limited, of the Indian diet and its role in cancer prevention; this is a valuable and unique feature since India has the lowest incidence of cancers in comparison to the Americas, Africa, and China.
'The purpose [of this book] is to summarize the data on the role of nutraceuticals in cancer management. This is a highly noteworthy and ambitious goal. The results of multiple surveys, personal encounters, and experiences shared by healthcare practitioners reflect a tremendous public interest on the subject as well as consumption of the supplements in discussion. It is difficult to underestimate the usefulness of such a book for medical and allied health educational purposes.'
