Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Recent advancements in microbiome research have underscored the significant role of gut microbiota in human health and disease, particularly in cancer. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary components can profoundly alter microbiota composition and functionality, which in turn may affect cancer risk and outcomes. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing effective cancer prevention and treatment dietary interventions. We invite contributions that investigate various aspects of this complex relationship.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Mechanisms by which diet affects microbiota composition and function;
- The role of microbiota in modulating the effects of dietary components on cancer;
- Dietary interventions and their impact on microbiota and cancer therapy;
- Clinical studies linking diet, microbiota, and cancer prognosis;
- Nutritional strategies to manipulate microbiota for cancer prevention and management;
- Microbiota-targeted therapies in conjunction with dietary modifications.
