    Redefining Chemoresistance: Natural Bioactives as Molecular Modulators at the Cancer–Tumor Microenvironment Interface
    Therapeutic resistance remains a critical barrier in effective cancer treatment, contributing to disease recurrence, progression, and reduced patient survival. In recent years, natural bioactive compounds have emerged as promising adjuncts in oncology due to their ability to modulate multiple biological processes involved in resistance. This review explores current evidence on the role of natural compounds in influencing cancer cell behavior and their interactions with the tumor microenvironment. By organizing these compounds into chemical families, we provide a structured overview of their potential to enhance the efficacy of standard chemotherapy and reduce resistance-related mechanisms. We also highlight innovative strategies, including combination therapies and advanced drug delivery systems, that aim to improve their clinical applicability. Overall, this work underscores the relevance of integrating natural bioactives into modern cancer therapy and calls for further translational research to bridge preclinical findings with clinical implementation.

    Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is increasingly associated with obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and genetic predispositions. This review explores how nutritional factors interact with these risk elements, emphasizing the potential of dietary strategies in EAC prevention and management. Diets such as the Mediterranean and plant-based patterns may reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic imbalance, thereby modulating cancer risk. Nutrient-rich foods–particularly omega-3 fatty acids, cruciferous vegetables, and dietary fibre–offer additional protective effects. Personalized nutrition, tailored to individual genetic and metabolic profiles, is emerging as a promising tool in cancer prevention. Moreover, weight management strategies like caloric restriction and intermittent fasting may contribute to risk reduction. Integrating these approaches into clinical and public health practices could play a critical role in mitigating the underlying drivers of EAC. Further research is needed to strengthen dietary guidelines and advance precision nutrition for high-risk populations.
