Journal ArticleDOI
Potential role of probiotics on colorectal cancer prevention
Mario Uccello,Giulia Malaguarnera,Francesco Basile,Velia D'Agata,Michele Malaguarnera,Gaetano Bertino,Marco Vacante,Filippo Drago,Antonio Biondi +8 more
TL;DR: Several mechanisms could explain the preventive action of probiotics against colorectal cancer onset: alteration of the intestinal microflora; inactivation of cancerogenic compounds; competition with putrefactive and pathogenic microbiota; improvement of the host’s immune response; and inhibition of tyrosine kinase signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
