In experimental animals, restriction of caloric intake is associated to a decreased incidence in the number and size of both spontaneous and induced tumors. Epidemiologic evidence of a similar effect in humans is not conclusive. However, some dietary recommendations regarding calories, protein and fiber content may be made in order to help prevent cancer development in human subjects.
