Preface
I would like to thank the publisher to entrust me with organizing the special topic
on the emerging role and molecular concepts of nutraceutical (natural agents) in
human health especially the value of nutraceuticals for the prevention and/or treat-
ment of human malignancies. This book illustrates the role of several dietary agents,
collectively called nutraceuticals or natural agents in the prevention and/or treat-
ment of human malignancies known to be mediated through alterations in multiple
molecular targets. This book contains sixteen chapters which begin with historical
perspective on the value of natural agents in the prevention of human malignancies
followed by a series of current topics on multiple nutraceuticals targeting multi-
ple cancers. This collection would likely be useful for bringing newer generations
with broader perspectives in launching cutting-edge innovative molecular research,
which would certainly help in designing targeted clinical trials in order to realize the
dream of customize strategies for the prevention and/or treatment of human malig-
nancies without causing any systemic toxicity. Moreover, the knowledge gained
would allow novel utilization of nutraceuticals as adjunct to both conventional
chemotherapy and radiation therapy in order to improve the overall quality of life
and survival of patients diagnosed with cancers. I would like to thank all the authors
for their cooperation, hard work and talented contributions to bring this book to
the readers in a timely fashion. I would like to thank the publisher and the entire
publishing group for their dedication and professionalism. Finally, I would like to
dedicate this book to my lovely wife, Arfatun H. Sarkar and my wonderful chil-
dren, Sarah, Sanila and Shaan for their understanding and sacrifice in allowing me
to work harder and spend time away from them rather than with them which they
rightly deserved.
