Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites original research, reviews, and perspectives exploring the role of nutritional supplementation in cancer prevention and treatment. Topics of interest include the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms through which nutrients and bioactive compounds influence cancer risk and progression, the impact of micronutrients and essential amino acids on tumor immunity, and immune cell metabolism. We are also seeking studies of nutritional status and the clinical integration of dietary interventions alongside conventional cancer therapies. Contributions addressing both the potential benefits and risks of supplementation, as well as personalized nutrition approaches and emerging translational research.
Dr. Luisa Cimmino
