Cover Story: Cancer treatment negatively affects gut homeostasis via a disrupted mucosal barrier, leading to bacterial translocation and a significant inflammatory immune response. The scientific and clinical communities have widely accepted the crucial role of the microbiome in tumor development. Moreover, mounting evidence described the impact of the microbiome composition on chemo- and immunotherapy efficacy and treatment-induced late toxicity. Gut microbiota modulation via probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation represents an emerging trend for increasing bacterial diversity, preventing inflammatory processes, and improving response to cancer therapies while minimizing side effects. A deep understanding of the host–microbiome crosstalk will help to bring a microbiome-based approach to routine clinical practice. View this paper
