This article provides a brief overview of the scientific rationale for dietary guidelines that may reduce the risk of some types of cancers--breast, colon, and prostate in particular. Dietary modification clinical trials currently sponsored by the National Cancer Institute are described. Other topics include the role of total parenteral nutrition in cancer therapy and low-fat dietary interventions as an adjunct to breast cancer treatment.
