Core Tip The treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) faces challenges of drug resistance mediated by the tumor microenvironment (TME). This review proposes that the gut microbiota is a core regulator in reshaping CRC immune metabolism and TME. We have established an integrated framework of the “microbiota-immune metabolism-TME” axis, systematically elaborating on the mechanisms of CRC occurrence, development, and treatment resistance from the micro level to the macro level. This perspective provides new ideas for deconstructing complexities such as clinical drug resistance. Based on this, we further explore translational strategies targeting the microbiota to reverse immunosuppression, enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, offering innovative theoretical basis and intervention prospects for the precise treatment of CRC.
