Abstract: The gut microflora plays important role in maintaining homeostasis in thehuman body. An unwanted disturbance in the gut microbiome can lead topro-inflammatory immune responses and the initiation of disease processes,including cancer. Literature has recently highlighted the enormous scientificinterest on the relationship between the gut microbiota and colon cancer, andhow the use of some selected probiotics can have a future impact on theadverse events which occur during this disease. Studies prove that somestrains of probiotics can be used for by modulating intestinal microbiota andimmune response and can be an alternative healthy way to prevent for canceror/and as adjuvant treatment during anticancer chemotherapy. This reviewpresents the latest advances in research into the effectiveness of probioticsin the prevention and treatment support of cancer. The described issuesconcern to the anticancer activity of probiotic microorganisms and theirmetabolites. In addition, we described the potential mechanisms ofprobiotic, how they can contribute in cancer prevention. The aim of thisreview was to summarize the knowledge about the effect of probioticmicroorganisms in well-balanced way to prevent colon cancer and theadverse effects caused by related therapies
