چکیده
Abstract To prevent/treat colorectal cancer, several methods are available. Almost all the strategies have some limitations. One of the promising new ways to prevent/treat colorectal cancer is to use synbiotics, which is a combination of proand prebiotics. It has been observed that the administration of synbiotics may be beneficial in the prevention of initiation/early stage of cancer, as well as in the treatment of existing tumours. This subject needs further investigation which seems to be a promising new strategy for prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.
