    About this series

    Probiotics have been suggested to be involved in both prevention and treatment of various human cancers. Anticancer Immunity: Reviewing the Potential of Probiotics 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.

    This volume consists of 11 chapters. The volume continues from the previous entry with chapters focused on probiotics’ anticancer immunity in specific cancers such as, bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, lymphomas, pancreatic cancer, oral cancer and oropharyngeal cancers. The book concludes with chapters that inform readers about the value of prebiotics, postbiotics and postbiotics in cancer therapy as adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents.

    Key features

    - Gives a new dimension 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

      Over the past decades, systems biology approaches have been applied in different areas of life science research including oncology. Researchers now understand the hallmarks of cancer cells such as abnormal cell growth, inflammation, dysregulated metabolic pathways and drug resistance properties at a molecular level. Systems biology approaches have enabled researchers to investigate cancer immunology by identifying cancer related biomarkers on immune cells, and to study the effect of different therapies in tissue cultures and mouse models. Systems Biology in Cancer Immunotherapy explains the scope of systems biology in understanding the immune response to neoplasms. The book introduces readers to the concepts crucial to cancer immunology before delving into the applied systems biology topics such as the metabolic pathways in cancer cells, the biomolecular roles of signal transduction molecules and immunotherapy. A brief conclusion at the end also provides some information from a clinical and commercial perspective on cancer immunotherapy. This volume is intended as an introductory reference for life science and medical students, researchers and academics interested in the application of systems biology to the immune system in cancer patients.

      Probiotics have been suggested to be involved in both prevention and treatment of various human cancers. 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
