Accumulating evidence demonstrates that intestinal bacteria influence oncogenesis, tumor progression, and response to therapy. Thus, selectively manipulating the gut microbiota may represent a feasible means to (i) limit the incidence of specific tumors in the general population and/or (ii) improve the activity of various anticancer agents . Although the first possibility has been investigated in several models of oncogenesis with promising results, the actual oncopreventive effects of anti-, pre-, pro-, and postbiotics in humans remain to be established. Also, it is indirect evidence of "cancer is an adaptation mechanism"
It is a very pro¡missing field of research, but I think we are now very far away to getting a clear clinical solution by this way
I agree with you that "cancer is an adaptation mechanism" as well as cancer theory "Chaotic Adaptation Theory(CAT)"
