Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the role of nutrition in cancer prevention, control, and symptom management, emphasizing the need for transdisciplinary approaches that integrate mechanistic, population-level, and clinical evidence. It highlights precision and personalized nutrition to tailor dietary strategies based on individual profiles, aiming to reduce cancer incidence and improve patient outcomes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Dietary patterns (e.g., Mediterranean, plant-based) and their role in modulating cancer risk;
- Nutrients, bioactive compounds, and their mechanisms in cancer prevention;
- Clinical trials and intervention studies translating dietary findings into practice;
- Microbiome, immunometabolism, and diet-related cancer prevention;
- Food systems, environmental exposures, and cancer risk;
- Rigor, reproducibility, and accuracy in nutrition and cancer research;
- Precision and personalized nutrition strategies for cancer prevention.
