Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to submit your relevant scholarly work to our Special Issue “Dietary and Nutritional Guidelines for Cancer Patient.” It is postulated that one’s nutritional status at the time of cancer diagnosis and throughout cancer treatment has an impact on health outcomes and survival, yet more evidence is needed supporting this claim among varying cancer types and stages. Currently, the World Cancer Research Fund recommends following dietary guidelines for cancer prevention throughout cancer survivorship, yet new evidence is emerging supporting the utility of other dietary strategies to improve health outcomes and survivorship among those with varying cancer types and in differerent settings across the care continuum, such as diet timing (i.e., time-restricted feeding) and dietary patterns. We invite you to submit a manuscript that address any aspect of this topic, from research utilizing epidemiological data to clinical trials.
Dr. Adriana Coletta
Guest Editor
