tailieunhanh - CANCER PREVENTION – FROM MECHANISMS TO TRANSLATIONAL BENEFITS

There is growing evidence on the importance of studies focusing on mechanisms and strategies leading to cancer prevention. The plethora of approaches include regulation of oxidative stress using antioxidant therapies, carefully balanced diets and living habits, epidemiological evidence and molecular approaches on the role of key biological molecules such as antioxidant enzymes, vitamins, proteins and naturally occurring free radical scavengers as well as controversial results and clinical applications. These are some of the topics that this book highlights. Furthermore, it provides comprehensive reviews of the state-of-the-art techniques and advances of cancer prevention research of different areas and how all this knowledge can be translated into therapeutic benefits as well. | CANCER PREVENTION -FROM MECHANISMS TO TRANSLATIONAL BENEFITS Edited by Alexandros G.
