    Obesity is a major modifiable risk factor for endometrial cancer, significantly increasing incidence and worsening clinical outcomes. The underlying biological mechanisms include chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, hormonal dysregulation, and microbiome alterations, all of which contribute to tumour development and progression. Nutritional strategies such as plant-based and Mediterranean diets, caloric restriction, and micronutrient-rich foods show promise in reducing cancer risk through improved metabolic health and hormonal balance. However, clinical challenges persist, including surgical complications, altered chemotherapy efficacy, and poorer long-term survival in obese patients. Personalised nutrition and multidisciplinary care integrating oncology, nutrition, and metabolic expertise are essential for improving treatment outcomes. Despite promising evidence, knowledge gaps remain in understanding microbiome interactions and the long-term efficacy of dietary interventions. Addressing these challenges through research and clinical innovation is crucial to mitigating the burden of obesity-related endometrial cancer and enhancing patient care.

    Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a growing global health issue linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Diet plays a key role in its progression and management. This narrative review highlights evidence-based nutritional strategies, including the Mediterranean diet, low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets, and high-fiber intake, which improve insulin sensitivity, reduce hepatic fat, and lower inflammation. Nutritional deficiencies, such as low vitamin D, choline, and omega-3 levels, exacerbate metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, emphasizing the need for targeted supplementation. Emerging approaches, including gut microbiota modulation, precision nutrition, and nutraceuticals like resveratrol and curcumin, offer promising therapeutic potential. A multidisciplinary approach integrating dietary and lifestyle modifications is essential for effective metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease management.
