Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of Nutrients entitled the “Nutritional Epidemiology of Cancer”.
Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, with 20 million new cases and 9.7 million cancer-related deaths recorded in 2022, according to the latest GLOBOCAN estimates. It is worth noting that most types of cancer can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle. In this context, the influence of nutrition on the prevention and management of cancer is undeniable. Nevertheless, when it comes to dietary recommendations, the scientific evidence of the impact of nutrition on cancer development has been judged to be convincingly causal or protective for only a limited number of nutrients or food groups. Hence, this Special Issue seeks to further clarify the association between nutrition and cancer in order to provide high-quality evidence that can be used as a basis for developing dietary recommendations for cancer prevention.
All studies (cohort studies, case–control studies, Mendelian randomization studies, randomized trials, reviews, meta-analyses, and umbrella reviews) focusing on the role of diet (food groups, dietary patterns, nutrients, dietary components) in the development of cancer are welcome.
