Core Tip The gut microbiota experiences significant perturbations during colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, with surgery and chemotherapy collectively reducing microbial diversity and depleting both pathogenic and beneficial bacterial taxa. These longitudinal changes, characterized by the loss of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria and the transient suppression of CRC-associated pathogens, have important implications for treatment efficacy, toxicity, and recovery. Understanding these temporal dynamics provides a rational foundation for developing microbiota-targeted interventions to optimize therapeutic outcomes in CRC management.
