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"
