Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worlwide with a tremendous burden for the individual and the society. Although primary prevention is an absolute priority, it becomes increasingly important to focus more on cancer survivors. Currently, more people are living with and surviving from cancer than ever before, partly due to positive developments, such as earlier detection and/or better treatment for several cancer types.
Nutrition plays an important role in cancer prevention, and currenly, evidence-based dietary recommendations exist that, if implemented, can lower cancer risk. Nevertheless, evidence on the role of nutrition after cancer is limited. Cancer survivors are advised to follow, unless otherwise told, the dietary recommendations that apply for cancer prevention after the acute stage of treatment.
The objective of this Special Issue on “Nutrition for Cancer Survivors” is to elucidate the association of nutrition and other nutrition-related factors (e.g., body weight), with a focus on the post-diagnosis period and after cancer treatment, with cancer risk and recurrence, cancer-specific mortality, overall survival, and other health-related oucomes, among cancer survivors. The optimal goal is to contribute in the development of evidence-based dietary recommendations for cancer tailored specifically for cancer survivors and to promote the health and well-being of this growing population.
