Abstract
Abstract: Although traditionally, cancer has been fought with the usual armamentarium chemotherapy and high dosages of directed radiation, lately there has been more attention devoted to combating cancer thru nutritive means. In particular, certain phytochemicals including some vitamins, some minerals and a wide range of other bioactive nutrients have been found useful in the physiological battle against cancer. Often, these phytochemicals can be used as a first line of therapeutic defense against cancer before chemotherapy and radiation treatment is commenced.
