Antitumor Effects of Dietary Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, several natural compounds have been discovered that are now widely used as anti-cancer agents, including paclitaxel, vinblastine, camptothecin and oleuropein. In this Special Issue, we would like to highlight the effects of dietary compounds regarding anticancer activities and their underlying mechanisms in various in vitro or in vivo models.

Despite our understanding of the impact of diverse dietary phytochemicals on cancer growth and progression, our knowledge of their underlying mechanisms for anticancer activities of these phytochemicals still remains unknown.

This Special Issue will be helpful to give scientific insights of anticancer activities of phytochemicals for nutritional food ingredients to the readers. In this Special Issue, we would like to bring readers closer to the state-of-the-art in the field of nutritional phytochemicals by gathering papers that cover important aspects of underlying mechanisms of nutritional phytochemicals, especially those in cellular and animal models related with clinical relevance. Original research articles and reviews are greatly welcomed for the publication in the Nutrients.
