Although the effect is difficult to measure, it is clear that food is a factor when considering most, if not all types of cancer. In addition, the diet also be effective in preventing cancer. There is no concrete explanation for the link between cancer and diet, but it would obviously be advantageous to maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.

For many years, the National Cancer Institute has supported a program that encourages Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, 60% -70% of cancers due to risk factors. Extensive research has also found that one third of cancer deaths in the United States depends on nutrients.
The proposed risk factors include being overweight or obese, with a low consumption of fruits and vegetables, low physical activity and smoking or alcohol. Therefore, cancer is seen as linked and associated with the lifestyle of a person. Specifically, the American Cancer Society estimates that women are 40% or more over ideal weight of 55% have an increased risk of cancer. Instead, men are 40% overweight have a risk 33% higher. Ironically, it was found that cancer occurs at different prices in different countries. This suggests that only people of different countries have different eating habits.
Whatever the consensus on the relationship between diet and cancer, fiber is actually agreed as a measure of the most important preventive for cancer.

Ideally, it should increase the consumption of bread, cereals, legumes (beans and peas) and, of course, more fruits and vegetables.
Although it is extremely sensitive on this point, the American Institute for Cancer Research to identify foods that are promising for cancer prevention. Firstly, suggests Institute of beans and pulses mai a lower risk of prostate cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Berry is expected to reduce the risk of skin, bladder and lung or breast cancer. More over, the lower cruciferous vegetables possible eventualities lung, stomach, colon and rectum, prostate and bladder cancer. Bladder cancer, colon, stomach, pancreas and esophagus can be prevented by drinking green tea. Finally, the prostate cancer can be prevented by eating tomatoes. It is also suggested by the American Institute for Cancer Research who eat whole grains may reduce the risk of all cancers.
In summary, there are five dietary advice that may save your life from cancer. It is recommended that you eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

Pancreatic cancer is a relatively rare disease, representing about 3 in 100 cases of cancer in the United States. But it is the disease that mainly affects people over 50 years, more and more common in the U.S. as life expectancy increases. Pancreatic cancer occurs almost twice as often in men than in women and the disease is slightly more common among African-Americans and Pacific Islanders. Pancreas is a spongy, tube-shaped organ about 6 inches long. It is in the back of the abdomen behind the stomach. The head of the pancreas is on the right side of the abdomen. It is connected to the duodenum, upper small intestine. The narrow end of the pancreas, called the tail, extends on the left side of the body. Pancreas is a gland about five inches long located behind the stomach. It is surrounded by the liver, gallbladder and small intestine. Pancreas has two main functions. One is the production of digestive juices necessary to neutralize stomach acid and decomposing food. The second is to produce hormones like insulin needed to metabolize sugars. Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal (cancerous) cells growing in the tissues of the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer in the United States and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. American Cancer Society estimates that 33,730 new cases of pancreatic cancer have been reported in the United States in 2006. Although prices of pancreatic cancer among men has declined over the past 20 years prices have remained constant in women. However, pancreatic cancer usually affects men returning most often in people over 45 years. Facts on Cancer of the pancreas about one of 79 people will develop cancer of the pancreas (pancreatic cancer) in his life. In North America in 2007, was pancreatic cancer, head of the fourth highest number of deaths among cancer deaths. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is approximately the same for men and women. Pancreatic cancer is sometimes called the "silent disease because it is difficult to detect and the symptoms do not usually appear until the cancer is now a good time. This cancer is difficult to diagnose because there are no symptoms early and, therefore, when symptoms occur, they are for other diseases. Depending on the stage and location of the cancer, surgery, chemotherapy and / or radiation may be used. If the cancer has not spread beyond the pancreas, treatment can be effective, but as mentioned earlier, it is very unlikely to find pancreatic cancer early. In later stages, therapy often focuses on convenience for the patient. Complete resection is the only effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, ductal carcinoma. Unfortunately, curative measures are possible in less than 15 per cent of patients and are limited for practical reasons, individuals with tumors of the pancreas, causing jaundice, leading to earlier diagnosis. Tumor spread to other places in the abdomen such as the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), liver or lung is a cons-indication to major surgery.
