The Survivor's Handbook: Eating Right for Cancer Survival

Filed in archive Cases , Treatment on May 26, 2007

Though it isn't the only factor for consideration, diet plays a key role in the prevention of cancer and also in surviving cancer.

Written by Neal D. Barnard, M.D. (with help from Jennifer Reilly, R.D.), The Survivor's Handbook provides details and important insights into the role of food in cancer prevention and survival.

On the other hand, you might want to read the review written by Dena McDowell, MS, RD at The Diet Channel.

As a clinical dietitian who works directly with cancer patients, I would not recommend this book as it lacks enough Scientific evidence in its recommendations. I would refer a patient to read it with caution, keeping the American Cancer Society's principles at the forefront of their minds. However that being said, the recipes listed at the end of this book are worth reviewing and may be incorporated into a healthy anticancer diet.
