Key Topics Covered in the Review on the Gut Microbiome in Colorectal Cancer

Caption

This illustration summarizes four key aspects of the gut microbiome in colorectal cancer (CRC): multi-kingdom interactions among bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses; genetic variation among strains within the same species; functional mechanisms involving microbial molecules, metabolism and host signaling; and clinical applications in biomarker development and targeted interventions. Together, these perspectives highlight the importance of moving from associative findings toward mechanistic understanding and clinical translation.
