Synbiotics for the Management of Cancer

This book illustrates the significance of probiotics and prebiotics for the management of various types of cancers. The up-to-date chapters provide recent information about the effect of anticancer treatment approaches on gut microbiota, the correlation between ROS and synbiotics for effective cancer treatment, and the influence of synbiotics on inflammation and immune microenvironment for cancer treatment. It also describes the regulatory issues about synbiotics in the management of cancer. This book is an essential resource for scientists working in the field of cancer, pharmaceutical & clinical sciences, and cancer clinicians. This book is also very useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Pharmacy and Biotechnology and medical researchers, mainly working in microbiology, immunology, and cancer biology.
