Cancer and Nutrients

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few decades, scientific community has identified the immense potential of bioactive dietary nutrients/components in the treatment and/or prevention of cancer. It is presumed that 30–70% of all cancer cases might be prevented or cured by bioactive dietary nutrients/molecules, which is based on the fact that these molecules modulates the major deregulated signaling pathways in cancers such as proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle progression, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Other anti-tumor aspect of these dietary nutrients can be correlated with their inhibitory effects on inflammatory mediators or cytokines. To develop effective cancer treatment strategy based on dietary molecules, it is essential to understand how these molecules interact with their respective oncogenic targets and the underlying molecular mechanism(s). Research findings from such explorations will stimulate the scientific community for designing novel anti-tumour drugs with advanced formulation for clinical testing. The purpose of the present issue is to invite researchers for contributing original research and review articles in the field of medicinally important bioactive nutrient molecules along with their tumor preventive action.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
