How Can We Modulate the Microbiome for Cancer Therapy?
There are several ways to modulate the microbiome to improve cancer outcomes:
Probiotics: These are beneficial bacteria that can be ingested to help restore a healthy microbial balance. Prebiotics: These are dietary fibers that feed beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT): This involves transferring stool from a healthy donor to a cancer patient to restore a healthy microbiome. Dietary Interventions: Adjusting the diet to include more fiber, fermented foods, and other microbiome-friendly nutrients can help maintain a healthy microbial balance.
