The goal of this symposium is to explore how nutritional and metabolic factors influence cancer development and therapy, as well as foster interdisciplinary discussions and highlight insights that can advance cancer prevention and treatment.

There will be four sessions during the full-day event featuring international experts from academia and leading clinical institutions and covering topics such as the influence of diet on health and cancer, diet-gut interactions, diet and the immune system, as well as translational applications for diet in anticancer therapy.
