Role of Gut Microbiota and Postbiotics for Colorectal Cancer, Gebunden

Klappentext

The emerging role of gut microbiota and postbiotics has implications for the management of not only human health and diseases, but also colorectal cancer in particular, as these elements influence colorectal cancer pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention. This book bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and practical clinical applications in the management of colorectal cancer by offering a fresh perspective on potential therapeutic strategies and exploring the significance of microbiota in the oncology landscape. Chapters delve into the specific impacts of postbiotics, linking them to immune response modulation, inflammation reduction, and direct anticancer effects. Chapters also explore current and emerging therapies, including the manipulation of gut microbiota and the use of postbiotics supplements. Clinical trial results, case studies, and expert opinions are interwoven to present a realistic view of the benefits, limitations, and future prospects of these innovative therapeutic strategies.

This book is rounded out with perspectives on future research directions in this area, discussing potential next-generation therapies such as personalized medicine approaches and biotechnological advancements, and further contemplating broader implications of microbiota research on public health strategies. Informative and engaging, this book provides clinicians and researchers alike with a deeper understanding of how postbiotics can be harnessed in colorectal cancer treatment and potentially, the treatment of other cancers influenced by gut health.
