This new book explores the latest advances in probiotic research, focusing on the effectiveness of probiotics in preventing cancer and supporting the treatment of cancer. Probiotics have gained increased medical significance due to their beneficial effect on the human body that includes the prevention of disease and support of the treatment of many diseases along with their absence of side effects. This volume examines the evidence that the use of probiotics can play an important role in cancer prevention and support anti-cancer therapies.

The volume first provides an introduction to prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics, covering the anticancer properties of probiotic microorganisms, the impact of their metabolites, the potential mechanisms of probiotic chemoprevention, and the feasibility of incorporating probiotics into cancer care strategies. The volume looks at studies that examine the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment and management of such cancers as bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancers, lung cancer, brain cancer, and others. It takes an in-depth look at gut microbiota and the role of probiotics as immune boosters and also considers possible toxicology challenges of probiotics as well.

The Role of Probiotics in Cancer Management will be a valuable resource for academics and research and industry professionals working in the field of gut microbiota, probiotics, and nutraceuticals who have a special focus on cancer management.
