Exploring the Role of Dietary Fiber in Modulating Treatment Outcomes for Cancer Patients: A Topic Modeling Approach

Abstract

The effects of both soluble and insoluble fibers on cancer progression, treatment efficacy, and patient outcomes have been explored. This study utilizedadvanced topic modeling techniques to analyze a wide range of academic literature on the role of dietary fibers in cancer treatment. It highlights the significant preventive and therapeutic benefits of dietary fibers, especially their influence on gastrointestinal health, immune system modulation, and inflammation reduction. The study employed topic modeling approach to provide insights into the interactions of dietary fibers at the molecular and cellular levels, affecting cancerous tissues and patient metabolism associated with cancer treatment. This study highlights gaps in the current literature, such as insufficient details on the underlying mechanisms and the variable impacts of different fiber types on specific cancer treatments. It also identified gaps in diet and cancer research by elaborating on how dietary fibers interact with cancer treatments and assessing their potential to enhance treatment effectiveness and improve patient health. Key findings indicate that dietary fibers significantly reduce the risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers and boost the efficacy of cancer therapies by impacting cellular activities and genetic expression related to cancer. These findings suggest substantial benefits of incorporating dietary fibers into cancer treatment regimens, potentially improving patient recovery and survival. Future research should focus on experimental studies to verify these mechanisms and clinical trials to develop dietary guidelines for cancer patients.
