ABSTRACT

There are certain foods that contain phytonutrients with antineoplastic activity in vivo and in vitro. Select foods/dietary constituents are being investigated as adjuvant therapy to chemotherapy and radiation, including some foods high in

antioxidants (green tea), as well as foods that could modulate phase 1 and II enzymes or drug clearance (cruciferous vegetables), but this work is very preliminary. Please see the Phytochemical chart in 11 b for further information.
