Insights and Innovation for Colorectal Cancer Management: Diet and Nutrition Factors

Dear colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled "Insights and Innovation for Colorectal Cancer Management: Diet and Nutrition Factors", aims to bring together cutting-edge research exploring colorectal cancer prevention, risk reduction, and survival, with a particular focus on how specific individual and community contexts influence cancer management behaviors and outcomes, including the role of dietary guidelines and several modifiable cancer-related behaviors.

We accept articles covering a variety of topics relevant to colorectal cancer management such as nutritional aspects, social factors, or a combination of both. Specific topics include diverse cancer control guidelines, such as dietary patterns, levels of physical activity or obesity, perspectives and insights into individual behaviors and the built environment, implications of health information, perceptions of prevention behaviors, and social or environmental factors that influence access to resources for colorectal cancer prevention, management, and support, including the value of immunonutrition in patients undergoing surgery or in support of cancer therapies.

As for research methods, we are particularly interested in mixed methods, novel study designs, community-based participatory approaches, and innovative interventions using web-based or digital platforms.

This Special Issue aims to embrace a broad range of perspectives and methodologies, address unique populations and contexts, and provide a deeper understanding of colorectal cancer prevention, management, and survivorship.
