Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Nutrients titled “Effects of Nutrient–Gene Interactions on Cancer Risk”. This issue will focus on the complex interplay between diet, genetic variations, and their combined influence on cancer susceptibility. With growing evidence that specific nutrients can modulate gene expression and that genetic polymorphisms can influence nutrient metabolism, it is critical to explore how these interactions affect cancer risk across populations. We welcome submissions of original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that investigate the role of nutrients, dietary patterns, or specific bioactive compounds in modulating gene-environment interactions related to cancer. We are particularly interested in studies that utilize innovative approaches, including genomics, epigenomics, nutrigenomics, and precision nutrition, to unravel how diet and genetic factors jointly influence cancer development. Manuscripts focusing on personalized nutrition strategies aimed at reducing cancer risk as well as those examining disparities in cancer outcomes influenced by nutrient-gene interactions are highly encouraged. We invite researchers from diverse disciplines to contribute and advance the understanding of how diet and genetics interact to influence cancer risk and progression.

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 short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
