Vitamins and Cancer

  • Chapter
Nutrition and Cancer

Abstract

Of the entire collection of chemically diverse substances classified as vitamins, vitamin A is of greatest current interest in terms of its possible role in the process of carcinogenesis. In this discussion the term vitamin A is used to describe vitamin A itself as well as its synthetic analogues of vitamin, called retinoids. The only well-understood function of vitamin A is its role in the visual cycle.
