Abstract
Novel findings draw attention to the adverse effect that neoplastic transformation of epithelial cells has on intestinal barrier function and cancer progression. An impaired intestinal barrier facilitated the translocation of microbial products, which promoted cytokine production and subsequent tumour progression in mice. The findings could open new therapeutic avenues for patients with early stage colorectal cancer.
