Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with a tremendous burden for the individual and the society. Although primary prevention is an absolute priority, it becomes increasingly important to focus more on cancer survivors. Currently, more than ever, people are living with and surviving from cancer, partly due to positive developments, such as earlier detection and/or better treatment for several cancer types.
Evidence on the role of nutrition and lifestyle behaviors after cancer diagnosis needs further elucidation. At present, cancer survivors are advised to follow the dietary recommendations that apply for primary prevention of cancer after the acute stage of their treatment. Other lifestyle habits, such as regular physical activity and sedentary lifestyle, after cancer diagnosis also seem to play an important role.
The objective of this Special Issue on ‘Diet and Lifestyle Advice for Cancer Survivors’ is to elucidate the role of diet, diet-related factors and lifestyle behaviors in a cancer survivor’s health. The goal is to provide evidence-based advice tailored specifically for cancer survivors for the protection and promotion of their health and well-being.
In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions of original articles and reviews based on observational and/or intervention studies investigating diet and lifestyle behaviors in relation to various health outcomes among cancer survivors.
