Role of probiotics in the management of cervical cancer: An update
Studies have extensively investigated a variety of health benefits associated with probiotic supplements, which often contain live microorganisms. The effect of probiotic supplements on cancer prevention and on chemotherapy effectiveness and toxicity are major areas that researchers have focused on. Recently, several researchers have concentrated on assessing the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of cervical cancer, a leading malignancy in gynecology worldwide, especially in developing countries. To date, numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of probiotics in preventing cervical cancer, but their dosages, bacterial strains, and duration of therapy are somewhat inconsistent. In this review, we have systematically updated the role of probiotics in cervical cancer management.
