Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Nutritional Metabolomics in Cancer” in the journal Metabolites explores the intricate relationship between nutrition and cancer through a metabolomic approach. As our understanding of cancer biology advances, it becomes increasingly evident that diet and nutrition play pivotal roles in cancer development, progression, and therapy. This Special Issue complies cutting-edge research that utilizes metabolomics to reveal how dietary components influence cancer metabolism, identify metabolic biomarkers for cancer prognosis and treatment response, and elucidate metabolic pathways affected by nutritional interventions. We encourage submissions investigating metabolic alterations induced by specific diets, nutrients, or bioactive food compounds, and their implications in cancer biology. Studies exploring the interaction between nutritional status and cancer treatment efficacy, as well as those identifying metabolic signatures predictive of cancer outcomes, are particularly welcome. The scope includes mechanistic studies on dietary metabolites in cancer cell metabolism, the identification and validation of metabolomic biomarkers for early detection, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring, and interventional studies examining the effects of specific diets or nutritional compounds on cancer metabolism. By highlighting innovative research, we aim to pave the way for integrating nutritional strategies into cancer prevention and treatment, ultimately contributing to personalized nutritional interventions that enhance cancer care. We invite researchers and clinicians to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies aligning with the themes of this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
