About this Research Topic
Nutritional factors including low-fiber diets, omega-3 fatty acids, and glutamine have been demonstrated to have the ability in regulating the cancer-associated immune response. Nutritional factors can attenuate intestinal dysbiosis in inflammation and cancer, thereby approving the long-term outcome of cancer. Importantly, in cancers, the close relevance of microbiota signatures and nutritional factors in shaping the efficacy and toxicity of immunotherapy is emerging.
The aim of this Research Topic is to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of nutritional factors and gut and intracellular bacteria on the immunotherapy response to cancers. We welcome Reviews, Mini-Review, and Original Research articles focusing on, but not limited to, the following subtopics:
• Nutritional factors, immunosuppression and cancer development;
• Nutritional factors and bacteria in immunotherapy for cancer;
• Phytochemicals and gut bacteria in cancer as well as phytochemicals regulate bacteria in cancer;
• Nutritional factors and bacteria in tumor microenvironment;
• Phytochemicals and antibacterial immune responses in cancer;
• Nutritional factors and microbiota in cancer immunosurveillance.
Keywords: nutrients, bacteria, immunotherapy, cancer, phytochemicals
