Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes a significant global health challenge, with recent studies underscoring the pivotal role of the gut microbiome in its pathogenesis and progression. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a compelling therapeutic approach, offering the potential to modulate microbial composition and optimize treatment outcomes. Research suggests that specific bacterial strains are closely linked to CRC, influencing both its clinical management and therapeutic interventions. Moreover, the gut microbiome's impact on immunotherapy responsiveness heralds new avenues for personalized medicine. Despite the promise of FMT, safety concerns, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, remain a critical issue. Clinical outcomes vary widely, influenced by genetic predispositions and the specific transplantation methodologies employed. Additionally, rigorous donor selection and screening protocols are paramount to minimize risks and maximize therapeutic efficacy. The current body of literature advocates for the establishment of standardized protocols and further clinical trials to substantiate FMT's role in CRC management. As our understanding of the microbiome deepens, FMT is poised to become a cornerstone in CRC treatment, underscoring the imperative for continued research and clinical validation.
