Resumen
The gut microbiome has recently become a hot topic for researchers looking to understand colorectal cancer carcinogenesis and progression. Understanding the role of the microbiome on colorectal cancer will allow us to better understand how to apply various preventative measures and therapies, including newer treatments such as immunotherapy. The aim of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive review of the topic and explore the most recent updates on microbial mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer, as well as their implications for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and future research.
