Abstract

Tumor ili neoplazma predstavlja nakupinu abnormalnih stanica koja nekontrolirano raste i nastaje kao posljedica mutacije DNA ili pod utjecajem određenih epigenetičkih utjecaja. Tumori se dijele po stupnju invazivnosti u okolno tkivo i mogućnosti metastaziranja na dobroćudne (benigne) i zloćudne (maligne) tumore. Jedna od glavnih razlika benignog i malignog tumora je u nemogućnosti prodiranja benignog tumora u okolna tkiva kao i stvaranja metastaza. Većina benignih tumora nije štetna za ljudsko... More zdravlje, dok je rak jedan od najčešćih uzroka smrti u ljudi. Najčešće i najsmrtonosnije vrste raka u svijetu su rak prostate, dojke, pluća i rak debelog crijeva. Brojna istraživanja ukazuju na sve veću povezanost načina prehrane i nastanka različitih vrsta malignih tumora. Kako bi se rizik od nastanka raka sveo na minimum, WCRF preporučuje ograničavanje konzumacije crvenog i prerađenog mesa te bitno povećanje unosa voća, povrća i cjelovitih žitarica, koji su izvori vitamina, minerala i prehrambenih vlakana. Konzumacija alkohola trebala bi se svesti na minimum, dok je svakodnevna umjerena konzumacija kave i čaja bezopasna za razvoj malignih tumora. Less

Abstract (english)

Tumor or neoplasm represents a cluster of abnormal, uncontrollably growing cells. Tumors occur as a result of DNA mutations or certain epigenetic alterations. Tumors can be benign or malignant according to their possibility of metastasis and possibility to spread into the surrounding tissue. One of the main differences between benign and malignant tumor is that benign tumors does not have the ability to invade the surrounding tissue or spread to other parts of the body. Most benign tumors are... More not harmful to human health, while cancer is one of the most common causes of death in people. The most common and most deadly cancers worldwide are prostate, breast, lung and colon cancer. Numerous studies point to the growing connection between diet and the development of various types of malignant tumors. In order to maintain the risk of developing cancer to a minimum, WCRF recommends limiting red and processed meat intake and increasing the intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which are important sources of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Alcohol consumption should be kept to a minimum, while the daily moderate consumption of coffee and tea is harmless for the development of malignant tumors. Less
