Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the critical role that nutrition plays in managing neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), a heterogeneous group of rare tumors arising from neuroendocrine cells, which frequently present unique challenges due to their hormonal activity and varied anatomical locations. Recent advances in nutritional science have highlighted potential therapeutic strategies that can complement traditional treatments, such as surgery, systemic therapy, and radioligand therapy. Contributions to this Special Issue explore how nutritional status can influence the metabolic pathways involved in tumor growth and symptom management, offering new insights into patient care, focusing on the potential impact of nutritional status on response to treatments, patients' quality of life, and clinical outcomes.
