Introduction

Foods for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma should be personalized for each individual and also must adapt when cancer treatment or tumor genetic change. The personalization and adaptation must consider all the active ingredients or bioactives contained in different foods with respect to cancer tissue biology, genetics, treatments, lifestyle conditions and diet preferences. Hence while nutrition is one of the very important decisions for a cancer patient and individual at risk of cancer to make – how to choose foods to eat is not an easy task.



For Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma does it matter what vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds one eats?

A very common nutrition question asked by cancer patients and individuals at-genetic risk of cancer is – for cancers like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma does it matter what foods I eat and which I do not? Or if I follow a plant-based diet is that enough for cancer like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma?

For example does it matter if vegetable Thistle is consumed more compared to Leek? Does it make any difference if fruit Peach is preferred over Pomegranate? Also if similar choices are made for nuts/seeds like Walnut over Cashew Nut and for pulses like Pigeon Pea over Common Pea. And if what I eat matters – then how does one identify foods which are recommended for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma and is it the same answer for everyone with the same diagnosis or genetic risk?

Yes! Foods you eat matters for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma!

Food recommendations may not be the same for everyone and can be different even for the same diagnosis and genetic risk.

All cancers like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma can be characterized by a unique set of biochemical pathways - the signature pathways of Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma. Biochemical pathways like Notch Signaling, DNA Repair, Chromatin Remodeling, Oncogenic Histone Methylation are part of the signature definition of Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma.

All foods (vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses, oils etc.) and nutritional supplements are made up of more than one active molecular ingredient or bio-actives in different proportions and quantities. Each active ingredient has a unique mechanism of action – which can be activation or inhibition of different biochemical pathways. Simply stated foods and supplements which are recommended are those which do not cause an increase of molecular drivers of cancer but reduce them. Else those foods should not be recommended. Foods contain multiple active ingredients – hence when evaluating foods and supplements you need to consider the impact of all active ingredients cumulatively rather than individually.

For example Peach contains active ingredients Eugenol, Luteolin, Chlorogenic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Beta-carotene. And Pomegranate contains active ingredients Corilagin, Eugenol, Luteolin, Linolenic Acid, Lutein and possibly others.

A common mistake made when deciding and choosing foods to eat for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma – is to evaluate only selected active ingredients contained in foods and ignore the rest. Because different active ingredients contained in foods may have opposing effects on cancer drivers – you cannot cherry pick active ingredients in foods and supplements for making a nutrition decision for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma.

YES – FOOD CHOICES MATTER FOR CANCER. NUTRITION DECISIONS MUST CONSIDER ALL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS OF FOODS.

Skills Needed for Nutrition Personalization for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma?

Personalized nutrition for cancers like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma consists of recommended foods / supplements; not recommended foods / supplements with example recipes which prioritize use of recommended foods. An example of personalized nutrition can be seen at this link.

Deciding which foods are recommended or not is extremely complicated, requiring expertise in Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma biology, food science, genetics, biochemistry along with good understanding of how cancer treatments work and associated vulnerabilities by which the treatments could stop being effective.

MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE EXPERTISE NEEDED FOR NUTRITION PERSONALIZATION FOR CANCER ARE: CANCER BIOLOGY, FOOD SCIENCE, CANCER TREATMENTS AND GENETICS.

Characteristics of cancers like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma

All cancers like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma can be characterized by a unique set of biochemical pathways – the signature pathways of Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma. Biochemical pathways like Notch Signaling, DNA Repair, Chromatin Remodeling, Oncogenic Histone Methylation are part of the signature definition of Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma. Each individual’s cancer genetics can be different and hence their specific cancer signature could be unique.

The treatments which are effective for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma need to be cognizant of the associated signature biochemical pathways for each cancer patient and individual at genetic risk. Therefore different treatments with different mechanisms of actions are effective for different patients. Similarly and for the same reasons foods and supplements need to be personalized for each individual. Hence some foods and supplements are recommended for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma when taking cancer treatment Sunitinib, and some foods and supplements are not recommended.

Sources like cBioPortal and many others provide population representative patient anonymized data from clinical trials for all cancer indications. This data consists of clinical trial study details like sample size / number of patients, age groups, gender, ethnicity, treatments, tumor site and any genetic mutations.

SMARCA4, TERT, ATM, ATRX and GRIN2A are the top ranked reported genes for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma. SMARCA4 is reported in 20.0 % of the representative patients across all clinical trials. And TERT is reported in 20.0 %. The combined population patient data cover ages from to . 27.6 % of the patient data are identified as men. The Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma biology along with reported genetics together define the population represented signature biochemical pathways for this cancer. If the individual cancer tumor genetics or genes contributing to the risk are also known then that should also be used for nutrition personalization.

NUTRITION CHOICES SHOULD MATCH WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL’S CANCER SIGNATURE.

Food and Supplements for Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma

For Cancer Patients

Cancer patients on treatment or on palliative care need to make decisions on food and supplements – for the needed dietary calories, for managing any treatment side effects and also for improved cancer management. All plant-based foods are not equal and choosing and prioritizing foods which are personalized and customized to ongoing cancer treatment is important and complicated. Here are some examples providing guidelines for making nutrition decisions.

Choose Vegetable THISTLE or LEEK?

In Conclusion

Foods and Supplements chosen are important decisions for cancers like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma. Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma patients and individuals with genetic-risk always have this question: “What foods and nutritional supplements are recommended for me and which are not?” There is a common belief which is a misconception that all plant-based foods could be beneficial or not but would not be harmful. Certain foods and supplements can interfere with cancer treatments or promote molecular pathway drivers of cancer.

There are different types of cancer indications like Translocation-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma, each with different tumor genetics with further genomic variations across each individual. Further every cancer treatment and chemotherapy has a unique mechanism of action. Each food like Thistle contains various bioactives in different quantities, which have an impact on different and distinct sets of biochemical pathways. The definition of personalized nutrition is individualized food recommendations for the cancer indication, treatments, genetics, lifestyle and other factors. Nutrition personalization decisions for cancer require knowledge of cancer biology, food science and an understanding of different chemotherapy treatments. Finally when there are treatment changes or new genomics is identified – the nutrition personalization needs re-evaluation.
