Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of cancer is anticipated to steadily increase in the upcoming years, paralleled by a notable rise in the number of cancer survivors, owing to improved survival rates in recent decades. Cancer development is intricately influenced by a range of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Notably, nutrition emerges as a malleable and impactful component, serving as both a protective barrier against the initiation of cancer and a complementary therapeutic tool in its management. This in-depth exploration into the intersection of nutrition and cancer will cover the entire spectrum, from pre-diagnosis to survivorship.
We invite contributions from various research domains, including laboratory studies, epidemiological investigations and comprehensive reviews, delving into the roles played by diet, nutrition, bioactive components in foods and lifestyle factors. These studies aim to elucidate how these elements can prevent the onset of cancer, aid individuals in overcoming treatment-related side effects and enhance the overall quality of life for cancer survivors. We welcome you to join us on this journey as we navigate the evolving terrain of nutrition and cancer, seeking insights that empower individuals to make informed dietary choices regarding the prevention treatment and optimal care post-cancer.
