Abstract

Abstract: Cancer is a kind of extremely complicated disease that associated with changes of lifestyle, genetic and epigenetic.
In general, we have made great progress in the fight against cancer, but it still need to be explored continuously. In addition to the
traditional cancer treatments, people now are paying more attention to the nutritional therapy. A lot of experimental evidence suggests
that yogurt and probiotics might have preventive effects on cancer. Probiotics are helpful to maintain health beneficial microbial
balance in the digestive tract of a human or other host. Probiotics may help strengthen immune functions and regulate homeostasis
and thus reduce side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
