Cancer is the defining medical challenge of our times. An impressive body of evidence supports the notion that prevention can be a major component of cancer control. The prevention of cancer rests mainly on the development of biomarkers that identify subjects at risk for cancer and those who will benefit from a given intervention, and on the development of safe and effective agents. Compounds, like tamoxifen and raloxifene, already in clinical use for the prevention of breast cancer, underscore the viability of the approach. They also emphasize the need for additional agents against the various forms of cancer that claim so many lives.Of the several approaches followed by investigators in the quest for new chemopreventive agents, bioactive food components are emerging as most promising. The significant body of work on such agents to date made apparent the need to review the progress that has been made and to identify the challenges ahead. These considerations prompted us to organize a symposium focused on bioactive food components and alternative medicine. Its title was
