The gut-brain-cancer axis represents a novel and intricate connection between the gut microbiota, neurobiology, cancer progression. Recent advances have accentuated significant role of microbiota metabolites in modulating systemic processes that influence both brain health tumorigenesis. This paper explores emerging concept metabolite-mediated modulation within connection, focusing on key such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), tryptophan derivatives, secondary bile acids, lipopolysaccharides (LPS). While microbiota's impact immune regulation, neuroinflammation, tumor development is well established, gaps remain grasping how specific contribute to neuro-cancer interactions. We discuss with potential implications for neurobiology cancer, indoles polyamines, which yet be extensively studied. Furthermore, we review preclinical clinical evidence linking dysbiosis, altered metabolite profiles, tumors, showcasing limitations research gaps, particularly human longitudinal studies. Case studies investigating microbiota-based interventions, including dietary changes, fecal transplantation, probiotics, demonstrate promise but also indicate hurdles translating these findings therapies. concludes call standardized multi-omics approaches bi-directional frameworks integrating microbiome, neuroscience, oncology develop personalized therapeutic strategies patients.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous tumor associated with several risk factors, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) emerging as an important cause of tumorigenesis. Due to the obesity epidemics, occurrence NAFLD has significantly increased nearly 30% prevalence worldwide. HCC often arises in background chronic (CLD), such nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. Gut microbiome (GM) alterations have been linked progression development, investigations reporting crucial role for gut-liver axis microbial metabolites promoting CLD. Moreover, GM affects homeostasis, energy status, immune microenvironment, influencing response immunotherapy interesting therapeutic implications. In this review, we summarize main changes derived (e.g., short-chain acids bile acids) occurring patients progression, emphasizing their potential early diagnostic biomarkers prognostic tools.

The discovery of immune checkpoints (CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1) their impact on the prognosis oncological diseases have paved way for development revolutionary treatments. These treatments do not combat tumors with drugs “against” cancer cells but rather support enhance ability system to respond directly tumor growth by attacking lymphocytes. It has now been widely demonstrated that presence an adequate response, essentially represented number TILs (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) present in mass decisively influences response disease. Therefore, immunotherapy is based cannot be carried out without increase lymphocytic at site, thereby limiting nullifying certain evasion mechanisms, particularly those expressed activity (under positive physiological conditions) restrain against transformed cells. Immunotherapy experimental phase decades, its excellent results made it a cornerstone many pathologies, especially when combined chemotherapy radiotherapy. Despite these successes, significant patients (approximately 50%) treatment or develop resistance early on. microbiota, composition, our modulate can treatments, reducing side effects increasing sensitivity effectiveness. Numerous studies published high-ranking journals confirm microbial balance, bacteria capable producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), butyrate, essential only chemoradiotherapy also better and, therefore, prognosis. This opens up possibility favorable modulation microbiota could become complementary standard therapies. brief review aims highlight key aspects using precision probiotics, such as Clostridium butyricum, produce butyrate improve checkpoint thus, diseases.
