Experimental Studies of Fat, Fibre and Calories in Carcinogenesis

  • Conference paper
Diet and the Aetiology of Cancer

Part of the book series: ESO Monographs ((ESO MONOGRAPHS))

Abstract

Experimental studies of fat, fibre and calories have been concentrated on cancer of the large bowel and on cancer of the breast. Good models are available for the study of aspects of both cancers, but there is some controversy regarding their value in determining the role of diet in the causation of these cancers. This is especially so in colorectal carcinogenesis where the effect of dietary factors varies with the carcinogen and the strain of animal used.
