Nutrition and Cancer in the Microbiome Era

Trends Cancer. 2019 Sep;5(9):521-524. doi: 10.1016/j.trecan.2019.07.003. Epub 2019 Aug 6.

Abstract

Popular views of what constitutes a healthy diet may shift, but the professional consensus is comparatively static and largely supported by our growing understanding of diet-microbiota interactions. The gut microbiome's responsiveness to diet and ability to calibrate immune and metabolic function shape new research opportunities across the cancer continuum.

Keywords: cancer patients; cancer prevention; dietary patterns; gut microbiome; nutrition.
