Summary
Advances in cancer therapy increasingly highlight the importance of a comprehensive and patient-centered approach that extends beyond tumor eradication. Modern oncology integrates molecular research, immunotherapy, and precision medicine with supportive interventions aimed at improving treatment tolerance, therapeutic response, and long-term outcomes. Among these, metabolic modulation and supportive care strategies—including nutrition, exercise, and symptom management—are gaining recognition for their role in optimizing therapy efficacy and enhancing patients' quality of life.
This Special Issue invites contributions exploring how innovative therapeutic approaches, from molecular and metabolic targets to multimodal clinical interventions, can be integrated within modern cancer care. Topics of interest include the interplay between tumor metabolism and treatment response, the role of supportive therapies in mitigating toxicity, and emerging technologies—such as digital health tools and artificial intelligence—for personalized oncology.
By fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, this collection aims to redefine the concept of "integrated cancer therapy," bridging bench and bedside to improve outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients.
