May 21, 2017 updated by: Yanqing Li, Shandong University
Probiotics modulate the gut microflora and immune status in lung cancer who need chemotherapy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Chemotherapy destroys the intestinal mucosal barrier, affects intestinal flora, causing bacterial translocation, infection and other complications. Probiotics may restore the intestinal immunity, mucosal barrier and nutrient absorption.
