Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal malignant tumors worldwide. Immune checkpoint therapies (ICTs) have been proven to be a reliable treatment for some subtypes of CRC. Gut microbiome is closely involved in intestinal carcinogenesis through the regulation of local immune and inflammation of colonic mucosa. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the immunotherapeutic efficacy of CRC and other kinds of cancer is influenced by the immunosuppressive microenvironment constituted by intestinal microbiome and their metabolites. This Review will discuss the recent advances in how gut microbiome can modify the immune microenvironment and its potential role in ICTs of CRC.
