Dietary changes can significantly lower cancer risk. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed six interim guidelines based on scientific evidence to promote health and reduce cancer incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Growing evidence suggests a link between diet and cancer risk.
  • Previous reports, including the 1982 National Academy of Sciences Committee report, highlight the importance of nutrition in cancer prevention.
  • The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recognizes the substantial potential of dietary modifications in cancer risk reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present six interim dietary guidelines for the American public.
  • To provide the scientific rationale supporting these dietary recommendations.
  • To align cancer prevention guidelines with existing public health recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature and NCI's internal reviews on diet and cancer.

  • Synthesis of evidence from the 1982 National Academy of Sciences Committee report.
  • Development of evidence-based dietary recommendations.

    • Main Results:

    • Six interim dietary guidelines have been formulated.
    • The guidelines are supported by consistent scientific data linking dietary patterns to cancer risk.
    • These recommendations are consistent with those from other major health organizations.

    Conclusions:

    • Prudent dietary guidelines are warranted to promote health and reduce cancer risk.
    • Dietary interventions represent a significant strategy for cancer prevention.
    • Public health recommendations on diet should be unified and evidence-based.
