Core Tip	The gastrointestinal tract inhabits trillions of bacteria that interact with the host at multiple levels to maintain its normal functions. Disruptions in this complex cross-talk ecosystem result in physiological changes associated with colorectal tumorigenesis, including cell proliferation, immune responses and apoptosis. This review summarizes the role of lactic acid bacteria as anti-tumorigenic probiotics and suggests the possibility of altering gut microbiota to prevent or halt development of colorectal cancer.
