Abstract

Modern world is marked by several lifestyle and non-communicable diseases and cancer is perhaps the most common of them all, taking the proportions of a pandemic. There is a complex relationship between postbiotic compounds and human health, as numerous studies have shown. Postbiotics appear to be important mediators of the intricate and direct relationship between these variables. The word "postbiotics" describes a group of biological micro- and macromolecules that, when taken in sufficient quantities, have a variety of positive health benefits on the host. Due to their anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer capabilities, postbiotics may be able to regulate the efficiency of cancer treatment and lessen the negative effects of conventional medicines in cancer patients, according to several reports. Postbiotics have since drawn considerable scientific interest due to their distinctive properties and are regarded as a novel option for adjuvant therapy in patients with cancer. The antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic activity of postbiotics will be summarised in this review paper.
