ABSTRACT
Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with 30-40% preventable through lifestyle changes. Ad- verse factors such as low fruit and vegetable intake, obesity, and inactivity contribute significantly to cancer risk. While micronutrients in fruits and vegetables may reduce cancer risk, evidence for their role in prevent- ing hematological malignancies (HM) is limited. Studies show mixed results on the impact of vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, C, D, E, B vitamins, and selenium on HM. Vitamin D is linked to better survival in HM patients, but its protective role is still debated. Overall, more research is needed to understand the effects of micronutrients on HM prevention and treatment. Excessive intake can be harmful, underscoring the need for balanced micronutrient consumption.
