Abstract: The gastrointestinal tract is a complex environment with a diverse microbial community and the probiotic lactic acid bacteria is among the normal flora. Probiotics have been shown to promote the intestinal barrier function and immune responses and to interfere with metabolism of tumor cells, preventing and treating a variety of cancers. The development of biological agents of lactic acid bacteria with the effect of anti-tumor is the foundation of enhancing the biological anti-cancer technology and accelerating the drug upgrading for cancer treatment.

Key words: lactic acid bacteria, anti-tumor, anti-cancer drugs
