Abstract:

In healthy individuals, there is a favourable balance between commensal and potentially pathogenic bacteria. When the balance is broken, the host might suffer from gastrointestinal cancer. Studies have shown that high-fat diet can alter the composition of gastrointestinal microbiota,gastrointestinal microbiota may promote gastrointestinal cancer by affecting metabolites of gastrointestinal microbiota, leading to loss of gastrointestinal barrier function, suppressing anti-tumor immunity, etc. In this work, we will summary the current knowledge on relations and possible mechanisms of high-fat diet-associated gastrointestinal microbiota and gastrointestinal cancer. To provide new ideas for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer.

Key words: high fat diet, gastrointestinal microbiota, gastrointestinal cancer
