                            <p>Nowadays, cancer is one of the mostimportant health problems and is one of the diseases that causes the mostdeaths in the world. Existing anti-cancer drugs used in cancer treatment showtoxicity dose dependent manner and cause strong side effects (infection, hairloss, fatigue, lip sores, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and bloody feces). Therefore, there is a need to develop anti-cancer agentsthat are effective and less toxic in the cancer treatment. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs)obtained from safe and natural sources, such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB), arethought to be a good alternative to synthetic anti-cancer agents. Theusefulness of the various EPSs is due to the fact that the EPS is dependent onthe monosaccharide composition, the ties of the bonds, the branching degreesand the molecular weight, this review contains information on the structure andbiological activity of EPSs and the mechanism of anti-cancer action of EPSs.</p></trans-abstract>
