How Can the Microbiome be Modulated for Cancer Therapy?
There are several strategies to modulate the microbiome for potential cancer therapy benefits. These include: - Probiotics and Prebiotics: Introducing beneficial bacteria or promoting the growth of existing healthy microbes. - Dietary Interventions: Diets rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables can positively influence the microbiome. - Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT): Transferring stool from a healthy donor to a cancer patient to restore microbial balance. - Antibiotics: Selectively eliminating harmful bacteria, although this approach must be used cautiously.
