with nutritional and physiological effects. The tumor growth and the health status of the oncological patient can be influenced by intake

of these supplements. Nutritional supplements include: omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids, green tea, allium vegetables, berries,

citruses, red wine, mushrooms, etc. Their effect is antibacterial, antimycotic, immunomodulatory, antiinflammatory and antiangiogenic.

Proapoptotic effect on tumor cells was also observed.
