摘要

Bacteria play a crucial role in human health and disease pathogenesis. In recent years, the therapeutic potential of probiotics has gained increasing attention, with studies suggesting their application in treating various diseases, including cancer. We evaluated clinical data supporting the use of oral and topical probiotics for skin malignancies by conducting a literature search in PubMed and Google Scholar. Although limited, clinical trials investigating probiotics in cancer prevention and treatment have shown promising results, particularly in controlling tumor progression and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Emerging research suggests that probiotics may contribute to skin cancer prevention by modulating the gut and skin microbiomes, enhancing immune responses, exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and inducing apoptosis. Given their antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on carcinoma cells, probiotic-based therapies may serve as potential cancer-preventive agents and adjunctive treatments during conventional therapies. Key findings from our review highlight the ability of probiotics to influence cancer progression through immune regulation, apoptosis induction, and modulation of inflammatory pathways. However, further well-designed clinical trials are needed to validate these findings and establish probiotics as a viable therapeutic approach in oncology.
