Since 1990, the number of medical oncologists, nurses, dietitians and basic scientists concerned with this field has increased markedly. Molecular biology and genetics remain central to this interdisciplinary field which integrates basic science and its clinical application. Cancer results from the expression of genomic changes. Nutritional oncology seeks to modify the environmental factors influencing these genetic changes and their expression at every stage of carcinogenesis, from initiation of the cancer cell to its metastic spread to other areas of the body.
