What Are the Potential Therapeutic Approaches Involving the Microbiome?
Researchers are investigating various therapeutic strategies to modulate the microbiome for better cancer outcomes. These approaches include the use of probiotics, prebiotics, dietary interventions, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Probiotics and prebiotics aim to promote beneficial bacteria growth, while FMT involves transferring microbiota from a healthy donor to a patient to restore a balanced microbiome. Such interventions could enhance treatment efficacy and reduce therapy-related complications.
