Thus, the treatment of leukemia currently relies on typical modalities like chemotherapy as well as radiation therapy. But it is the part that nutrition has to play in relation to the prevention and handling of its consequence that has gained increasing notice among the medical circles globally. Accordingly, it shall establish a view on the literature in relation to diet manipulation, supplements, as well as exercise and other bodily behaviors that can effectively work towards controlling the occurrence of leukemia and influencing its treatment outcomes. Attempts are made to determine how such diets affect the development of the disease by considering mechanisms related to diet-induced leukemia. Dietary patterns and individual nutrients in regard to leukemia prevention and treatment are described. Decisions are made regarding nutraceuticals/functional foods in the context of dietetics’ impact on usual medication used to counter leukemia. Thus, it is our intention in this study to provide a summation of what we have known up to this point and ask a few more questions for the subsequent researches to answer for those physicians or scientists who keen to understand the relationship between nutritional processes and incidence of leukemia cases around us.
