CRC Press Management of Diet and Lifestyle in Cancer Care

Management of Diet and Lifestyle in Cancer Care provides an evidence-based overview of how nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and other lifestyle factors influence cancer prevention, treatment, recovery, and long-term survivorship. Integrating current advances in nutritional science, cancer biology, microbiome research, metabolism, and precision medicine, the book presents a multidisciplinary perspective on supportive cancer care that complements conventional medical treatment. The book explores the biological mechanisms through which dietary patterns, bioactive food components, exercise, circadian health, psychological well-being, and environmental exposures affect cancer progression and patient outcomes. It also discusses practical nutritional strategies for individuals undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies, while addressing symptom management, quality of life, and rehabilitation. Each chapter combines scientific evidence with clinically relevant recommendations, supported by tables, figures, and recent research findings. Designed for researchers, oncologists, nutritionists, dietitians, healthcare professionals, postgraduate students, and public health practitioners, this volume serves as both a reference and a teaching resource. It bridges fundamental concepts with emerging developments in personalized nutrition, gut microbiota, nutrigenomics, and digital health, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the role of diet and lifestyle in modern cancer care. By bringing together expertise from multiple disciplines, the book offers a practical and research-informed framework for integrating lifestyle-based approaches into comprehensive cancer management.
