Probiotics and Colon Cancer
Many studies have focused on the effects of certain probiotics and colon cancer. A number of these studies performed in animal models demonstrate an effect on certain experimental cancers. In man, certain probiotics have shown an effect on the activity of enzymes involved in conversion of pro-carcinogens to carcinogens such as nitrosamines and secondary amines. The mechanisms responsible and the long-term effects of these changes have not yet been fully elucidated. Considerable research is currently being carried out in this domain.
