All Rights Reserved. http://www.cancermonthly.com/cancerwire.asp In this edition of CancerWire we focus on three intriguing and recent studies: New research from the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, finds that a very-low- fat vegan diet is packed with protective nutrients that may help ward off prostate cancer, as well as other diseases. The University of Pittsburgh has discovered that honokiol, a substance extracted from the root and stem bark of one species of magnolia tree, may potentially help treat-or even prevent-prostate cancer. Flavopiridol-an extract of a medicinal plant from India-appears to offer real potential for hard-to-treat rhabdoid tumors. And finally, we reprint our classic article on Vitamin C and Cancer for those who may have missed it.
