Popis: Lung cancer is one of the top 10 causes of death in the world today, and it is a great concern worldwide for its high mortality rate. Currently, the researchers are digging into various factors influencing the occurrence and development of lung cancer in order to increase the odds for curing lung cancer, improve the prognosis of lung cancer patients as well as reduce its morbidity. The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a special dietary structure that is based on eating vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, legumes and low-fat fish, which have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and lipid-lowering effects. Recent studies have revealed that the MD may prevent lung cancer occurrence to some extent and inhibit its development. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analytically discuss the effects of the MD on the oncogenesis and development of lung cancer through a review of the relevant literatures, thus to provide references for MD to prevent and treat lung cancer.
