What Role Does Gut Microbiota Play in Cancer and Digestion?
The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized for its role in digestion and overall health, including its potential impact on cancer. A healthy gut microbiome aids in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Disruptions to the gut microbiota, whether from cancer or its treatments, can lead to digestive issues and potentially influence cancer progression and response to treatment. Research into probiotics and prebiotics as supportive therapies is ongoing.
