| Sumario: | Nutrition: a natural and promising option in colorectal cancer intervention Nutrition plays a significant role in the intervention of colorectal cancer (CRC) by decreasing the risks of colorectal carcinogenesis. Products from both plant and animal origins have been involved in the prevention and/or treatment of CRC. Intake of dietary products including fibre-rich foods, nutraceuticals, wholegrains, dairy products, and limited consumption or avoidance of red/processed meat and alcohol could reduce the risk of CRC. These nutritional compounds, in CRC intervention, could be in form of folklore/alternative medicine or isolated compounds used in the production of many chemotherapeutic agents. Monitoring of individual’s nutritional status could serve as a possible preventive or therapeutic measure against CRC, majorly by interaction with intestinal microbiota, thereby potentiating host anti-cancer immune response and/or interfering with mechanisms of carcinogenesis. |
