Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of the journal Nutrients, entitled “Nutrition and Physical Activity for Childhood Cancer Prevention and Treatment”. Increasing evidence suggests a healthy lifestyle from the earliest years of life, including adequate nutrition and regular physical activity, is essential from a preventive, therapeutic and prognostic point of view. The global change in dietary patterns and physical activity levels has led to a dramatic increase in some of the main risk factors for the development and promotion of cancer, such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Therefore, the scope of this Special Issue will be to provide an extensive discussion regarding the potential impact of physical activity and nutrition in childhood cancer prevention and treatment.
All studies are welcome, including original research papers, narratives, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The evidence generated through this Special Issue may be useful for parents, clinicians or coaches, or simply interested readers, and it may also inspire innovative new research.
