Abstract :

Nutrition plays a vital role in cancer along with tobacco. High consumption of foods rich in substances such as fibers, carotenoids, some vitamins & minerals have been associated with reduced risk of oral cancer. Various macronutrients & micronutrients have an inverse relation with oral cancer. Nutritional deficiency causes alteration in the methylation of DNA, increase in the tumor cells & decrease in the normal healthy cells thereby affecting the health of the individual in the form of weight loss, cachexia, leading to death of the individual. This paper provides a review on the metabolic effects of dietary elements in oral cancer.
