Coffee
Some good news for coffee drinkers - in a 2011 study, caffeic acid, found in not only coffee but also olive oil and some fruits and vegetables, has been discovered to have a "potent anticancer effect" on the HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21116690
Cruciferous vegetables (i.e. Broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts etc)
Fish
Fish containing eicosapentaenoic acid have correlated with reduced cancer risk. This effect has been found to be increased in combination with lycopene (see tomatoes). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18708285
Flax
Numerous scientific studies showing encouraging results for lignans extracted from flaxseed oil, particularly with breast cancer cells. Studies here - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=flax%20cancer
Interestingly, flaxseed oil was found to enhance the tumor-reducing effects of Trastuzumab, an anticancer drug, in a 2010 study from te University of Toronto. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20580760
