Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary supplements include macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals and varied non-essential nutrients which are important for human health. The role of nutritional supplements in preventing and treating cancer is under investigation. However, only a few human clinical studies have confirmed their safety and benefits, and their use during cancer treatment remains still controversial. Although nutritional supplements can have a positive impact on individuals with cancer, further research is needed to draw conclusions and allow the use of the nutritional supplement in clinical practice. This Special Issue will examine the usefulness of dietary supplements for treating cancer diseases and their complications. All these topics related to “Cancer Prevention and Treatment” and “Nutritional Supplements” are potential objectives of our Special Issue, in which we cordially invite clinicians and researchers to submit either original (preclinical and human studies) or review articles.
