Dietary interventions and tumor response to chemotherapy in breast cancer: A comprehensive review of preclinical and clinical data.

Background & Aims: Optimizing treatment efficacy is still a critical part in advancing the treatment of breast cancer. Dietary interventions have drawn significant attention for their potential to increase tumor sensitivity, with a plethora of strategies evaluated both preclinically and clinically. The aim of this paper is to explore these strategies, ranging from entire dietary programs to specific supplements, for their potential to directly enhance tumor sensitivity and chemotherapy adherence.

Investigation into the Potential Role of in Prevention of Colorectal Cancer and Its Effects on the Diversity of Gut Microbiota in Rats.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 10% of all cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths worldwide. Over the past two decades, several studies have demonstrated the clinical benefits of probiotic supplementation and some studies have shown that certain probiotics can modulate immunity and strengthen gut microbiota diversity. This study aims to assess the impact of the (PF) probiotic against CRC induced by azoxymethane (AOM), and to investigate its effects on gut microbiota diversity in rats, as well as to evaluate the anti-proliferative activities of PF in HCT116 CRC cells.

Ameliorates Colorectal Tumorigenesis and Suppresses Proliferation of HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells.

is one of the most abundant commensals of gut microbiota that is not commonly administered as a probiotic supplement. Being one of the gut's major butyrate-producing bacteria, its clinical significance and uses are on the rise and it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and gut microbiota-modulating properties in the treatment of inflammatory bowel illness, Crohn's disease, and colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a silent killer disease that has become one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide.

Pharmacomicrobiomics: Influence of gut microbiota on drug and xenobiotic metabolism.

Gut microbiota is the most diverse and complex biological ecosystem, which is estimated to consist of greater than 5 million distinct genes and 100 trillion cells which are in constant communication with the host environment. The interaction between the gut microbiota and drugs and other xenobiotic compounds is bidirectional, quite complicated, and not fully understood yet. The impact of xenobiotics from pollution, manufacturing processes or from the environment is harmful to human health at varying degrees and this needs to be recognized and addressed.

Probiotics supplementation in patients with colorectal cancer: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Context: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths. Recently, much attention has been given to the microbiome and probiotics as preventive and therapeutic approaches to CRC and the mechanisms involved.

Objectives: To interpret the findings of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of probiotics relative to patients with CRC and to outline challenges of and future directions for using probiotics in the management and prevention of CRC.

Role of probiotics in patients with colorectal cancer: a systematic review protocol of randomised controlled trial studies.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity worldwide and it has been reported to be associated with poor lifestyle habits which include excess tobacco and alcohol intake as well as genetics and age factors. Probiotics such as the lactic acid bacteria and as well as probiotic containing foods (kombucha, kefir, miso etc) have received lots of attention as anticancer agents for prevention and treatment. The effects of the administration of probiotics to patients with colorectal cancer is the primary goal of this systematic review.
