To Combat Abnormal Cell Signaling Mediated Gastrointestinal Cancer by Therapeutic Modulation of Gut Microbiota...

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, a multifactorial disease, encompasses a group of malignancies that affect the gastrointestinal system. Being the second leading con-tributor to cancer-related deaths, GI cancer has become the burning issue of human health. Despite advances in treatment, the diverse nature of GI cancer indicates that a one-size-fits-all solution is not applicable.

The gut microbiome can be therapeutically modulated by utilizing prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics. Fermentation of prebiotics produces postbiotic compounds. To-gether the prebiotics and probiotics combination can be used as synbiotics which will be more beneficial.

PubMed and Google scholar search engine tools have been utilized to access ref-erences about the idea of this review to demonstrate the therapeutic modulation of microbiota, residing in the gut, which utilizes postbiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics for combating GI cancer.

Exploration of prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotic compounds has given us de-tailed information about their contribution to combating GI cancer.

Intake of a combination of prebiotic, postbiotics and synbiotics can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and activate protective and stress-resistant mechanisms in healthy cellswhich couldbe more beneficial than the administration of prebiotics or postbiotics or synbiotics alone in diminishing the risk of GI cancer.
