This is a difficult question to answer, as  we still do not fully understand the workings and intricacies of cancer in many  cases. Certainly there are now established links between smoking, exposure to  toxic substances and pesticide sprays, the high  consumption of alcohol and cancer.

Long-term stress, obesity,  radiation exposure, hormonal imbalance and deficiencies in nutrients have all  been linked to cancer too.<\/p>\n<p>There  are now active ingredients in certain herbs and foods that have  anti-carcinogenic properties. I highly recommend you incorporate them into your  diet on a regular basis. It is also wise to take one or more of the following supplements if  you have had exposure to the any of the risk factors.<\/p>\n<p>However if you are undergoing chemotherapy treatment, it is advisable not to take any anti-oxidants or anti-cancer  supplements as they exert such a powerful influence that they can actually stop  the chemicals from penetrating the cancer.
