It explores the molecular mechanisms by which bioactive compounds influence cancer cell behavior, including their impact on apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and epigenetic modifications. The book covers a wide spectrum of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, probiotics, and prebiotics, discussing their sources, bioavailability, metabolism, and therapeutic efficacy. It integrates findings from in vitro studies, animal models, clinical trials, and epidemiological research to provide a well-rounded perspective on the potential of functional foods in cancer prevention and treatment. Regulatory frameworks, safety concerns, and formulation challenges associated with translating nutraceutical research into clinical practice are also discussed. Additionally, it highlights the recent advancements in biotechnology and bioinformatics that enable precision nutrition approaches tailored to individual cancer risk profiles. The synergy between conventional cancer therapies and bioactive dietary compounds offers insights into how functional foods can enhance treatment efficacy and mitigate side effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributions from experts in food science, oncology, pharmacology, and public health ensure a multidisciplinary perspective on this rapidly evolving field.
