How Can the Microbiome be Manipulated for Cancer Therapy?
There are several strategies to manipulate the microbiome for cancer therapy. These include:
Probiotics: These are live bacteria that can be ingested to improve the gut microbiome. Prebiotics: These are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT): This involves transferring fecal matter from a healthy donor to a patient to restore a balanced microbiome. Antibiotics: These can be used to eliminate harmful bacteria, although this approach must be carefully managed to avoid disrupting beneficial bacteria.
