Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diet, nutrition and food biomolecules play critical and intricate roles throughout the cancer process, contributing to its development and progression. Additionally, the maintenance of a balanced nutritional status during cancer treatment is fundamental for success in clinical outcomes. Importantly, cancer survivors and patients seek information about diet not only with the goal of improving overall health, but also to mitigate cancer-related symptoms and minimize the risk of other forms of cancer.
There are, however, several challenges in interpreting diet–cancer relationships related to methodological limitations, the heterogeneity of studies, and the need for the replication of findings. Moreover, some nutritional factors might also impact the risk of recurrence or second primary cancer in cancer patients, highlighting the need for nutritional assessments and support by healthcare professionals in the context of tertiary prevention.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Effects of Diet and Nutrition on Different Stages of Cancer”, aims to explore and deepen diet–cancer relationships and welcomes the submission of manuscripts unravelling the impact of diet and dietary components throughout carcinogenesis and cancer disease. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, those described above. Manuscripts that explore new technologies and approaches, including the use of biomarkers of dietary exposure, the investigation of the molecular structure of nutritional factors and the consideration of dietary patterns, are of particular interest.
Researchers are invited to submit original research articles using any study design, including case studies, cross-sectional studies, implementation or interventional studies, cohort studies, and reviews and meta-analyses. We aim to publish a wide range of papers in this Special Issue and encourage you to submit your research. Additionally, we ask that you please share this announcement with any colleagues you think may be interested.
