Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer is a common type of malignancy that affects the colon and rectum. While there are various treatment options for colorectal cancer, there is mounting evidence that suggests nutrition can play an important role in both preventing and treating the disease.
This Special Issue will focus on the role of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. It will feature original research articles, meta-analyses or systematic reviews in the field. The Special Issue will cover a range of topics related to nutrition and advanced colorectal adenoma or colorectal cancer. The study population could range from average risk to high-risk populations for colorectal cancer. Studies of the role of nutrition for early-onset colorectal cancer are also welcome.
The Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research on nutrition and colorectal adenoma or cancer, highlighting the potential for nutrition interventions to improve outcomes for individuals with colorectal cancer or those who have had a prior history of colorectal cancer. It will also identify areas for future research and public health initiatives to promote healthy eating habits and reduce the burden of colorectal cancer.
