Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most prevalent cause of cancer-related mortality. It is believed that alterations within the gut microbiome may impact the development and progression of cancer. Additionally, the diet an individual maintains and the amount of alcohol consumed can alter the microbiome, thus impacting the development of colorectal cancer. A diet focused on fiber intake is considered beneficial, as it contains short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which have antitumor properties. Furthermore, current treatment strategies, such as chemotherapy, have various side effects. In this review, we discuss the role of the gut microbiome and oral bacteria in relation to colorectal cancer. We also deliberate on the role of diet and alcohol consumption in the development of colorectal cancer. Moreover, the influence of the various metabolites within the gut and the importance of gut inflammation in the development of colorectal cancer are explained. Finally, potential therapies such as fecal microbiota transfer and post/prebiotics are elaborated on. To further comprehend risk factors in the development of colorectal cancer, future studies are warranted to determine the precise mechanisms of action between the gut microbiome and carcinogenesis in order to develop therapies that may target gut microbial dysbiosis.
