In Poland, mortality due to cancer ranks second, just after cardiovascular diseases, as per the GUS data from 2021. Cancers are classified as civilization diseases, and their development is significantly disrupted by environmental factors, including diet. It is estimated that 30-40% of cancer cases can be avoided by maintaining an active lifestyle, consuming a healthy diet, and maintaining proper body weight (K. Borzucka-Sitkiewicz 2019).

Cancer arises when the internal environment loses control over deoxyribonucleic acid replication and cell division or cell composition processes. The spread and progression of cancer disease are closely linked to the functioning of the immune system, particularly the mechanisms responsible for combating reactive oxygen forms, known as free radicals. Cancer cells are characterized by the ability for uncontrolled and spontaneous growth and migration throughout the body, developing until they lead to the death of the organism.
