Cancer is one of the most important health problems. Methods: For this study forty four female Swiss albino mice were used. These mice were subdivided into four groups (negative control, positive control and two induced carcinogenic groups fed on probiotics). Yoghurt and fermented kidney beans used as probiotics. Cancer induced by intra-peritoneal injection of 2×106 Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. The tumer will examine histopathologically. Results: of degeneration and necrosis. Feeding on fermented kidney beans was more effective than yogurt in which the neoplastic cells became smaller in size, degenerated and lost their nuclei. Conclusion: In this study the two tested probiotics (yoghurt and fermented kidney beans) used as biofunctional foods to reduce the high risk of these disease
