The European Cancer Prevention Organization (ECP) was established in 1981 with the objective of developing studies of the aetiology and preven tion of cancer through concerted-action European collaborative studies. It achieves this through the organization of annual symposia, the organiz ation of workshops on subjects of topical interest and the organization of research projects. The annual symposia have all been on themes of high priority for cancer prevention; namely Tobacco and Cancer (1983), Hormones and Sexual Factors in Human Cancer Aetiology (1984), Diet and Human Carcinogen esis (1985), Concepts and Theories in Carcinogenesis (1986), Causation and Prevention of Colorectal Cancer (1987), Gastric Carcinogenesis (1988), Breast, Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer: Aetiological and Epi demiological Relationships (1989) and Causation and Prevention of Human Cancer (1990). At the time of the 1985 symposium a workshop was organized in conjunction with IUNS to formulate a set of dietary guidelines for the prevention of human cancer. Those guidelines were published inNutrition and Cancer, but since then there has been a massive increase in information on diet and cancer and so it was decided that in 1991 we would again have a symposium and an associated workshop on public education on diet and cancer. The symposium was structured into a number of sections, the first of which included a review of the various sets of published guidelines together with general background papers on dietary carcinogens, anticarcinogens (particularly the vitamins) and the value of animal models in studying diet and human cancer.

Abstract: Parents play an important part in the care of a child with cancer; providing good nutrition is particularly important, and requires an understanding of the digestive system, the body's nutrient needs, and nutrient sources, as well as the special needs that may arise during cancer treatment. The various treatments are radiation, drugs, and surgery; coping with the side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, dehydration, mouth sores, or tooth decay, becomes easier when they are anticipated. Techniques for increasing nutrient intake are suggested by increasing nutrient density or food appeal. The special diets include clear or full liquid, soft, low residue, lactose or gluten restricted, and high fiber; each is presented as a fold-out chart identifying allowed and excluded foods by group.
