Influence of high fibre diets on the gut microbiota, prostate tumour growth and normal tissue toxicity following ionising radiation

Purpose: High dietary fibre intake has been linked to lower cancer risk, yet its role in prostate cancer treatment responses and radiotherapy tolerance remains unclear. We evaluated the effects of dietary fibres (inulin, pectin, beta glucan) on prostate tumour growth, gut microbiota and intestinal response to ionising radiation (IR) in murine models. Methods: Male FVB and C57BL/6J mice were…
