Phytochemicals and Nutrients in Cancer Prevention and Treatment: Recent Trends and Advances

Dear Colleagues,

Plants constitute an important source of compounds with beneficial properties, the discovery and study of new phytochemicals being a growing topic in cancer prevention. The implication of nutrients in preventing cancer and the important role of vegetables are widely known. Polyphenols are an important group of phytochemicals widely present in plant tissues. Many of them are consumed in the diet and are considered to have beneficial properties to prevent cancer. In addition, nowadays, there is growing knowledge about the implication of metabolism in cancer development, making it necessary to explore the role of nutrients in its prevention.

The objective of this Special Issue is to contribute to the scientific evidence about the properties against cancer development of new phytochemicals as well as known phytochemicals, many of them consumed in the diet. In addition, this Special Issue aims to offer an updated overview of implication of nutrients in cancer development.
