Chemotherapy is a category of medicines that are utilized to kill and eradicate immediately the abnormally growing cells in the body. It is commonly utilized to treat cancer because cancer cells grow and divide at a faster rate than other cells. Extravasation is the mechanism by which any liquid (fluid or drug) accidentally enters the surrounding tissue. Extravasation in cancer treatment indicates the unintentional chemotherapy infiltration into the subdermal tissues or subcutaneous enclosing the intravenous or intra-arterial location of administration. Extravasated agents are categorized as vesicants, exfoliants, irritants, inflammators, and neutrals. Based on their potential for causing harm, management of chemotherapy-related extravasation includes both non-pharmacological treatment and pharmacological treatment.

Cancer, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, has been the subject of extensive study by many researchers. Cancer is affected by both genetic and immune system factors in the human body. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the body's capacity to maintain homeostasis. Because of their beneficial effects on human health and their ability to successfully prevent and treat various chronic diseases, such as cancer, probiotics are becoming increasingly important in medicine. A wealth of research has shown that probiotic consumption can significantly helpful in cancer prevention and treatment. The goal of this review is to provide a thorough overview of the research on the function of probiotic bacteria in the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers.
