Core Tip Gut microbiota plays key roles in intestinal inflammation and tumor development, but also in shaping the anti-tumor immune responses. We longitudinally monitored the gut microbiota of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) at diagnosis, after surgery and after chemotherapy. Alpha diversity declined and the overall microbial composition (unweighted UniFrac distance) changed at the three timepoints. Overall, CRC-associated pathogens and short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria were decreased at post-treatment timepoints. Collectively, these results underscore the clinical potential of microbiota-targeted approaches to strengthen the gut barrier and enhance chemotherapy efficacy.
