This study adds to the evidence that dysbiosis of the gut microbiome can be improved using prebiotic and probiotic supplementations in children with cancer. More well-designed experimental studies are needed to confirm this conclusion. Further studies are needed to examine the associations between the gut microbiome and GI symptoms/PNS in childhood cancer.
