Probiotics in Anticancer Immunity explains biochemical mechanisms of anticancer immunity exerted by probiotics in various human cancers. It presents edited chapters focused on the evidence of probiotic use against human cancers through several animal and human studies. Part 1 of Probiotics in Anticancer Immunity consists of 11 chapters. The introductory chapters provide information about the link between gut microbiota and the host immune system in cancer and the general mechanisms of anticancer immunity exerted by probiotics. Subsequent chapters are focused on probiotics' anticancer immunity in specific cancers such as, skin cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, liver cancer, cervical and colon cancer. Key features - Gives a new dimensions and insight in the role of probiotics in anticancer immunity towards various human cancers - Provides several color figures and tables to clearly explain relevant information. - Includes recent information with new insights and references - Meets the needs of basic (pre-clinical) and advanced clinical researchers and postgraduate scholars
