Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been a staggering and constant rise in the number of cancer patients globally in recent years. It is also postulated that cancer mortality rates will potentially increase with the increasing aging societies in the future. Though cancer is a deadly disease, almost half of all cancer-related deaths could be prevented by avoiding risk factors. Furthermore, with the help of epigenetic and genomic technologies, individual susceptibility can be determined rather precisely which could help in taking the necessary precautionary measures.
Scientific evidence points toward the tumorigenic effects caused by cancer, in which nutritional factors play a crucial role. Thus, research has been carried out highlighting the anti-tumor effects of a healthy diet, wherein the phytonutrients derived from natural sources are considered the most important elements.
This Special Issue aims to focus on research pertaining to the discovery of new molecular biological correlations describing the anti-tumor effects of phytonutrients, reaction mechanisms and cell culture, which will allow us to further develop chemopreventive strategies. We will welcome animal experimental and human epidemiological studies, biomolecular experiments or modeling, as well as review articles.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
